Process note: Not really knowing of how a 'heath' looks to be like, this verse has versions
of a similar kind of land area in our part of the world. It's akin somewhat to having light
undergrowth where we boys spent hours of fun when young
undergrowth where we boys spent hours of fun when young
Nostalgic playground
Boyhood arena, stage for
countless excitements
Catapult in the
back pocket. He roamed the large
expanse of wasteland
Light undergrowth rich
in little creatures hiding
to be discovered
Heath, a treasure trove
lined with childhood abundance
of fun and laughter
Written for Chev's haiku at CARPE DIEM #103with prompt , heath

Fred is in the fray too
Being more alert is sought
