Fauna found this gorgeous grasshopper today amongst the oak leaves. She has always found them fascinating and wanted to dedicate this poem to the little creature.
The grasshopper, the grasshopper
I will explain to you:
He is the brownies' racehorse,
The fairies' kangaroo.
By Vachel Lindsay
**Click on the photos to get a really close up look of him. He has a very animated face.
That is the sweetest little poem. I love "a brownie's racehorse." Very cool grasshopper Fauna! I'll have to keep an eye out for one near our brownie's house in the backyard:)
Wow! How lovely. :-)
ReplyDeletethat is so cool. How do you find these things? I have seen quite many grasshopper when I was in China, but not so much in the US.
ReplyDeleteBut then, my friend in FL. just saw an Armadillo roaming... wow! not sure if I want to meet one... don't know much about them.
