The Grasshopper

Grasshopper 
grasshopper 
all day long 
we hear your scraping 
summer song 
like 
rusty 
fiddles 
in 
the 
grass 
as through 
the meadow 
path 
we pass 
such funny legs 
such funny feet 
and how we wonder 
what you eat 
maybe a single blink of dew 
sipped from a clover leaf would do 
then high in air 
once more you spring 
to fall in grass again 
and sing.
