Melodies of the Wild
between the wood so elegantly slow
I liked how the water would flow,
built by the beavers so brilliantly so
the damn created a rhythmic type of control,
producing a soft tinkling or babbling hello
I observed the birds flying between the two trees, landing gracefully to rustle the leaves
amplified by the swiftness of the breeze
I heard the buzzing of the honey being created by bees
I heard the jug-o-rum of the bullfrog loud and clear;
funny how it all sounded like a whisper last year

I love the last line: “the jug-o-rum of the bullfrog/…/how it all sounded like a whisper last year”!
I too loved the “jug-o-rum” sound. That’s a new one for me. Nice poem!
nice work here.
i support ALL beaver content..
did you know the sound of running water actually drives them crazy? they build their damns as a mean to assuage
the anxiety brought on by the sound of the flow..
learning this about them was a major shift in my world view 🙂
The last couplet is delicious!
What beautiful flow and images!
yes, your poem is a melody
