Pine cones on a woodland floor <br />Where leaves have browned and fell <br />The heavy scent of forest fare <br />A distinctive musty smell <br /> <br />Hedgehogs hunt the dampened earth <br />While worms go down to hide <br />Where mushrooms grow among the trees <br />Along the shady side <br /> <br />See all of this and so much more <br />When walking in a wood <br />A freshness that is nature’s way <br />To make us all feel good <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/3-woodlands/
