A Hidden World

Hiding in tall grasses a world unseen
Pass creatures over and under the ground
Only visible to sight very keen
In the slightest indentation or mound

So life exists which we're barely aware
No appreciation or knowledge gains
A living world as if not even there
Under marching feet which only disdains

Clever creation works in small places
Against unconscious attempts to destroy
Look closely again at Queen Anne's laces
Many creatures living there to enjoy

Down the dark tunnels dug in the grasses
On hands and knees...magnifying glasses

About this poem:
Rediscovering an incredible abundence of life right out there in a field of tall grass, a hidden world which 99.9 % of us have maybe never seen...well perhaps since our own childhood.

It is amazing when one takes the time to notice what's around him. Even the tiniest seed can bring heaps of joy and new discoveries when magnified... wow professor

Very nice Yankee. Sometimes, the blindest person isn't the one that can't see but the one that doesn't look. Thank you!!! teddybear

Even the tiniest creature can be fascinating if we care to look,I sit and watch ants at times,as a kid I used to watch a tiny bug like thing burrowing in the sand backwards,till today I do not know what it is called and have never come across it after I left school.I love reading your poems,its so nice that you observe things that most people would not bother about.thumbs up teddybear
