in my little front yard
mama and papa rabbit
stand guard
ever watchful
waiting for babies
to hop out of the nest
and
head out into the world
all on their own
excited
full of curiosity
and
fresh ideas.
—
“ideas are like rabbits.
you get a couple and learn how to handle them,
and pretty soon you have a dozen.

as another school year
draws to a close
my time on the bus
is almost over
and
i think
i’ll miss
all the action:
who sits with who
who lost their coat
who forgot their bag
who needs a band-aid
who has the wrong bag
who sat by the window last
who didn’t bring their boots
who has trouble sitting at all
who was supposed to stay at school
who is crying, laughing, squealing, bouncing?
it might be me.
—
“i’d rather go by bus.”

we plant
we nourish
we shop
and
we learn
from the farmers at the market
we become farmers with our own market.

“when tillage begins, other arts follow.
the farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.”
-daniel webste
when i am older
i hope be as graceful
as this
silver-haired beauty
and
would
love to be
known
as a
‘lively senior.’
