First Sign of Spring

 
 
 
Oh little earthworm
long and sleek –
crawling through the dirt – you peek.
 
Where am I now
you wander so –
you’ve traveled far – but gone so slow.
 
Coming up, from underground
carefully to steal a look -
 
beware the pokey fishing hook.
 
Beware dear worm
as you do peek –
 
 
Oops!
a snapping Robin’s beak.
 
 
Oh little worm
how does it feel
to find you’re someone else’s meal -
 
To be the cause of someone’s burp
 
in-between
 
a morning's chirp -
 
 
 
to be the reason
 
 
 
Robins sing
 
 
 
 
to let us know
 
 
 
 
 
it now is...
 
 
 
 
Oops -
 
 
 
 
 
the cat did SPRING.
