Little Lady Lily, such a silly forest sprite

Got stuck in a tree, and stayed there all night

Til a bird landed on her, but it couldn’t speak elf

Lady Lily didn’t care, she’d have to teach it herself

Soon, many feathered friends, learning the words

Did pass them along, to all the other birds

The little forest creatures, kept chattering away

Seems all this time, they’d had an awful lot to say

Lady Lily didn’t care, decided to build a new home

Up in the tree, a little nest, the only one, with a dome

Storm clouds of grey, pitch black, emerge
Then open up, with a thunderous surge

Icy cold droplets, against my skin
Looking up to the sky, I take it all in

Trying to count them, but they’re much too fast
These pennies from Heaven, gather, amass

Into puddles for jumping, no way I’ll abstain
Anyone watching, might think me insane

Dancing about, in the middle of the street
Clothes soaking wet, from my head to my feet

Ah, but who cares, just let the rains pour
I’ll simply stay here, waiting for more

Soft fronds, waving, in a gentle breeze

Like the wind, blowing, through your hair

Silently swaying, they do as they please

Soaking in fresh air, no time for despair

For winter’s iciness will do what it takes

To places, where the tall grasses grow

Alas, quivering, in the ripples on the lake

Is the last of where autumn freely flows

Wings that circle about, always in constant flutter

These tiny avian creatures, are unlike any other

Long beaks, to suck nectar, from feeders, up high

No problem for them, as they soar through the sky

Small bodies, with amazing colors, so very bright

That dance, as they shine, off the reflecting light

A hummingbird is not one to mind, should you stare

In fact, you can’t help it, with the beauty they share

With each stroke painted

A brush released its beauty

His palette of life

Beholden to the talent

He never truly discerned
