NOTE: I don't know why I decided to do a poem for this one. If you want me to redo it, let me know and I will. It's not one of my better ones, and in some places reminds me of Dr. Suess. If you don't know who that is, you should. His work is awesome (even if they are children's books).
--------------------------------------------line break.
He watches me, as I dig
in the dirt
He takes me in, lets me
work
This is his place, his
home far away
and I am flattered he's
asked me to stay
We work together, help
to grow
all of the plants and
the seeds that we sow
The leeks the cat
hates, but eats nonetheless
(why he does so I never
could guess)
There are the radishes
all in a row
What the rat planted
after the snow
The strawberries he
bought just for me
Are growing next, under
the shade of the tree
He watches me as I pull
at the weeds
and dig a small hole, a
home for my seeds
The prince, the rat,
the boy we all love
Eyes made of violets,
hair of a dove
My friend, once lost,
out of sight
Brought back to me from
the dark of the night
We work together, at
our secret base
Where we come to when
we need to escape
The wind blows my hair,
blocks him from sight
But I know that he's
there, bathed in the light
of a thousand rays of
sun-powered heat
which warms his face
and guides his feet
He pulls my hair back,
ties it with ribbon
Showing his love and
his care freely given
And we work side by
side in our garden with care
Hoping that no one
knows we are there
The cabbages are fresh,
ready to eat
and we water the things
that would die from this heat
I'm sad when we pack
up our things to go
Yet I'm still happy,
for this I know:
We'll come back to
this garden some day
and continue our work
that is play
Just me and the rat in
this small little space
That we have made into
our own secret base
THE END
