Wow, that's quite a read.

Not sure where to start on this one? The great word choice. The high density of nouns and verbs (i.e. lots of action). The specific animals and plants. The effortless rhyme and rhythm.

Not only have you created a picture with words, you've created a video clip.

Thank you, Peri Taylor, your kind reply is missing, but my appreciation is noted. Your nature photography is inspiring to me.

Craig, aww, thank you!

Alan, Your words mean a lot. Thank you for taking time to read and comment. Your versatility and craftsmanship, writing poems like Sea Storm and your Lewis Carroll inspired 'Alan Poems' have a lot to teach me.

Thank you for taking time to visit this poem. Once you have been in the redwoods and along the coast, you have an appreciation for nature that stays with you.

Although I just came across this, and am very late to comment, I want to bring it forth to others who also may have missed it's beauty - accolades, my friend, from me.
