Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Seed Filled Garden Marker at Lantern Porch
The marker has a shiny face and a useful seed-textured face. The useful side reveals where the tiny sprout needs room. Each solo gets a nonmatching answer: a small sound may receive a wide gesture, and a bright sound may receive a slow one.
Rhyme
Silver light touched porch and seed.
The useful side showed what they need.
Spencer made one quiet tok.
Lex answered with a wide hand-rock.
Aydin made one bright tik.
Emmitt answered slow, not quick.
A fast finish crossed one sprout’s space.
They stopped and left a wider place.
Sunflower fence stayed in the view.
Bee-garden edge became the way through.
Because they waited, drops could sound:
porch wood tok and seed shell round.
One leaf gave shh in almost-still air.
Three weather sounds met gently there.
No indoor room could make that same three.
The sprout stayed safe, and the sounds stayed free.
