Poems

by Ralph Kretz 

Small and Large
Atoms
Too small for us to see
Minerals
As beautiful as can be
Rocks
Rising from the sea
Planet Earth
In the Milky Way
Galaxy

Trees
Small trees
Large trees
Maple and oak
Spruce and pine
Trees for shade
Trees for birds
Trees make oxygen
That we breathe

Birds
Birds,
How beautiful your song
With notes both high and low
Short and long
Birds,
How do you produce
These sounds
Often repeated many times
Beautiful birds
