Analysis of A WALK IN THE WOODS (Poem #134)
Keep it up, you're doing great, huffing and puffing along.
Your aim is to be healthy, svelte and strong.
I see a rabbit; I see a squirrel, oh what a treat.
A ladybug walks on a bush with its tiny little feet.
Oh look, a deer flashes his white tail, as he goes on his way.
I'd be very lucky if I saw a bear, if he was only out to play.
I get so excited when I see an Eagle fly overhead.
A hawk or a vulture will keep away the dead.
A walk in the woods is not only good health for me
It is also an education of what was and is and will be.
