Ode to an Earthworm

Wondrous worm
You are my garden hero
No arms
No legs
No hands
No feet
You wiggle and wriggle into my heart
Hardworking earth mover
Subterranean tunneler
Hidden from the light of day
Underground
In cool, dark dirt
You take my kitchen compost and give back a fertile field.

(~Teri McKay)
