Wednesday, July 8, 2026 Three Postcards, One Poem

I was inspired to write a poem based on three postcards I bought last year. The artist is Sarah Angst (should I comment on her last name? I want to. Okay, I won’t.)

The hedgehog slowly ambled
Through grass, amid the flowers
Where mushrooms, red and white
Seemed as tall as towers.

He strolled and as he pondered,
He looked from side to side.
“My kingdom is amazing –
So big and vast and wide!”

The moose was prone to wander
In woods or through a swamp,
’cross ponds and cheerful rivers
He’d loudly stomp and clomp.

He gazed out o’er a valley
Across the mountain side
“My kingdom is a wonder –
So big and vast and wide!”

The crow, his wings a-flutter
Would fly from tree to tree,
His clucking and his cawing
Rang out most joyfully

When soaring through the sky
He saw no room for pride.
“God’s Kingdom never ends –
So big and vast and wide!”

I love the bold and colorful artwork!

This blog post must come to an end, so small and puny and narrow.
