Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Hinged Garden Marker at Weather Vane Deck
The marker gives two useful signals: a loud tap and a quiet hush. A dropped seed cup breaks the rhythm. Instead of starting over, Aydin adds a wait beat, and the rebuilt pattern becomes directions that include a slower entrance.
Rhyme
Weather-vane deck held the morning start.
A hinge went loud; a leaf went soft.
Lex tapped once: tok, clear and bright.
Brandon Rabbit hushed: shh, feather-light.
Both were clues. Which one led?
A seed cup tumbled by Aydin’s tread.
The pattern broke. No one was teased.
Aydin raised one palm: “Wait, please.”
Tap, hush, wait—three parts now.
They tried the rebuilt pattern slow.
Rain-chain corner showed in the frame.
Quiet-bench grove became the way.
During cleanup, one small cup poured.
Wet lines darkened beside the board.
A gate, a path, and an open round place—
the garden picture made a welcoming space.
