Maia's poem

This is a poem Maia wrote for a poetry contest . The theme of the contest was "Hidden Nature."  The poem she submitted was illustrated, but I can't figure out how to get the illustrations onto this blog.

SMALL NATURE 

by

Maia Frost

 

Flowers can be big or small,

But if you look closely,

You will see it all.

 

With roots, stems, petals, and leaves

Even pollen, and seeds.

 

Look around.

 

They might be camouflaged,

But look.

You might see

Bees, butterflies,

and maybe dragonflies.

 

The stripes on bees are smaller than bees.

Butterflies’ eyes are big enough to see

You and me.

The dragonfly’s emotion

Can cause a commotion,

Even though it’s quite small.

 

The flower can be home to it all.
