Read together

In a world of wonders, both big and small,
There are creatures that we've yet to know at all.
From the depths of the sea, the sea dragon lurks,
While the archerfish shoots water and smirks.

The leaf-rolling weevil makes a home in a leaf,
And the wetlands are where the migratory birds find relief.
Up in the trees, the flying dragon flies,
While the mole tunnels underground and hides.

Silk is spun by the spider and the worm,
And the leaf insect camouflages to blend and squirm.
But the praying mantis stands tall and still,
Waiting for its prey with patience and skill.

These creatures may seem strange or bizarre,
But they all have a place, both near and far.
In this world full of wonder and delight,
We can learn so much from each little sight.

Talk about it
