her curiosity had her
daydreaming in the forest.
Avocado leaves tremble briskly
singing its season\'s chorus.
she listened to the sounds
of squirrels swarming
jumping from tree to tree
like they were performing.
chirp, chirp goes the birds
growing its iridescent feathers.
Animals assembling together food
for the crisp, chilly weather.
she daydreamed
as she studied the mantis green
stems tickling against her sweater
fostering a picturesque scene.
