Down by the Wethersfield moss
where oak trees hide
a small path
where only they
Pauline, Casey, and Susie 
could find
Among the moist leaves
and lemon yellow 
dandelions
Down by the Wethersfield moss
past the morning glories
the small path 
led to a spring
Bottomless
Still
The tree,
Down by the Wethersfield moss
where Pauline and Casey 
jumped 
from the tallest branch 
of the elm
Splashing 
and thrashing 
into the dense, dark
blue
Through the path ,
Down by the Wethersfield moss
they dragged along Susie 
whose eyes made you 
fall
into the deep 
azure that they are
To the water
the abysmal water
Giggling 
and screaming
as they went
At the spring 
Down by the Wethersfield moss
blinded by the wisps of 
white water 
drenching their faces
they were all
oblivious 
to what had occurred.
Through the path, 
Pauline and Casey ran
Leaving the spring,
when Susie didn't come back 
up
Her eyes
now part of the
obscure hue
Down by the Wethersfield moss.
