Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Folding Garden Marker at Bee Garden Edge
The question changes from where to which to what changed to who hears. Zylar notices the smallest sound, so the group invents the role “tiny-sound keeper.”
Rhyme
“Where?” asked Spencer. “Which?” asked Crow.
“What changed?” asked Aydin, soft and low.
Zylar took the marker next.
“Who hears the tiniest sound?” came next.
At bee-garden edge, the marker folded.
One small bell-seed rolled and stopped.
Tik went seed on one dry leaf.
Four friends listened, still and brief.
Before windmill path, they turned away.
No finished marker stayed that day.
“Tiny-sound keeper,” Spencer said.
Zylar held the quiet role instead.
