Tiny gnat Big Forest [Frida Scofield]

One big day,
a bright big glorious day,
there was a gnat.
A tiny gnat,
A dark little spot of a gnat.
And this tiny gnat
with it's flappy buzzy wings
realized with much certainty
that they were in a forest
A big, huge forest
with huge, brown trees,
Broad, Thick, Tall trees.
And this gnat, awestruck it was!
This humble gnat
saw this forest as grand!
It was a Great, Grand, Awesome forest!
And it buzzed and swooped and
loop-de-looped among the leaves,
the wavy, green leaves,
and this simple gnat
was elated -
over joyed, bewildered, euphoric
dwarfed by this forest
and it's trees
and the trees' leaves
and their broad trunks
and it loved it so!
And this humble gnat then,
quite tired, quite old by the end of the day,
Settled upon one tiny vein
in a great big leaf
and it let out a sigh,
and happily died.
