This week, we have a poem written by Kathy Kopichanski, from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Kathy is enrolled in literacy classes at the Open Doors Adult Literacy Program in Winnipeg.
Country Settings
by Kathy Kopichanski
Far off in the distance, strange things
Seem clear,
Like a bubbling brook.
Birds sing their own song,
Nothing ever goes wrong.
The presence of nature is all around,
And you notice footprints on the ground.
Trees tower the mountaintop,
Traveling the slanted hills.
Farther off you may notice a
neighboring deer
And the changes from the
time of year.
You climb to the top,
Where everything is lush and green.
Over the trees you notice a cabin,
Towering over the trees.
Around the cabin there are rocks,
On the rocks a katydid crawls into
The crack and beyond.
