Amateur Naturalist Poem by Tan Morgan

Amateur Naturalist

Rating: 5.0


Trudging the marsh,
Looking for dragonflies, watersnails, tadpoles;
My breath sucked at the April mist-water,
My boots grew gills;
My feet became two woollen fish,
Fins for toes, wriggling in the duckweed.
I brought home a gleaming horseleech
And a collection of gnat bites.
