The maple tree stealthily conceals the water
and with glee, sprinkles a few drops
on each unsuspecting traveler
The sparrow delicately licks
the fresh water from a leaf
savouring the taste
before moving on
The land below absorbs the water greedily,
leaving a few drops out of pity
for the ever-hungry sun

Hi Nightlake, would you like to join other authors on my poetry blog, if you do, you could post one or two poems a week and you could start with your oldest, Harry.
