Swamp

ferns,
fronds, frogs, pollywogs
dew
fog,
mist
blanket,
snakes
just out,
sun’s
stove turns up
spring
peepers peep
buds
awake,
sap
ascends,
fledging
feathers test flight.
These
are all my pets.
From
Paul Richard:
“I've
recently had poems published in the Writer's Newsletter in Great
Britain. I live in Indianapolis and frequently take poetry classes at
the Indiana Writers Center as well as participate in writing and arts
seminars. I am a former museum curator and administrator. In my
retirement I am a beekeeper and avid gardener and volunteer on behalf
of veterans.”
