A Day Well Spent

by damommy

The blue jay perched high in the tree,
as soft winds stirred the leaves.
His mate soon joined
with lunch purloined,
as soft winds stirred the leaves.

I watched the squir’ls, those darling thieves,
and they took all the seeds
from feeders hung,
to feed their young,
and they took all the seeds.

A troop of ants marched through the weeds
to seize a morsel dropped.
They ran to see
and all broke free
to seize a morsel dropped.

Now, that’s the way I spent my day,
in Nature’s tiny worlds.
Caught in my sights
were such delights
in Nature’s tiny worlds.

Refrain: L2 is repeated as L5 in each stanza

The Roundabout is a four stanza poem, with each stanza consisting of 5 lines. The poem is written in iambic and the lines have 4 feet, 3 feet, 2 feet, 2 feet and 3 feet respectively. The rhyme scheme is aBccB/bCddC/cDaaD/dAbbA.

As the example poem shows, the "A" rhymes are different from the "a" rhymes. I don't know why they simply didn't give them a different letter.
