Eight-line Poems 2

Mossman

Mossman

Mossman creeping across the bark
down low amongst the humus soil
a creature of the damp and dark
in secret growth his soul doth coil

But now in species friendship true
a gesture brave and quite unique
extends he once a tiny hand to you
and you into his world do peek.
