I'm Not Thinking About, by Melissa Hamilton


I'm not thinking about
toads, turkeys
or gnats.

Nor am I pondering
weasels, tadpoles
or newts.

I'm not even wondering about
armadillos, warblers
or stink bugs.

My mind is free of
centipedes, blow fish
and swans.

But I am thinking of spring,
creation, this amazing
whir of life.
