For Pete’s Sake…
A Through Z Poetry
By: DeEtta Miller
After the rain
Butterflies fly
Crocus bloom and
Dandelions defy
Every little creature
Frightened by the storm
Gallantly peeks out
Hoping to be warmed
Into the sunlight
Jubilant they run
Kicking up sand
Laughing is such fun
Moments of pure bliss
Never seeing the fox
Oblivious to harm
Pete porcupine is shocked
“Quiet my friends and
Run!” shouts Pete
Startling his friends
Time to retreat!
“Until this ends
Very close to me trot”
Wiry quills did fly
X marked the spot
Yet, Pete let him go
Zowie, that was close…

Great work. You should send this to teachers in preschool or primary school. They could use this as a language lesson or alphabet story.
