a grasshopper slept still in the grass today

a grasshopper slept still  in the grass today
unnoticed most by heard sheep munching.

if you were looking for green uneven chrome yellow
the camouflage would at last astound unseen for

even tipped toes though blades crisscross might
have through quiet snoring caught a downy ear.

    a grasshopper

    sitting in the sun
    a good day
    to realize 'living'
