This is written for my choir teacher. She is so influential and a great person. One day I hope to grow up to be like Mrs. E. ( also her favorite animal is a hedgehog )

Warm brown spikes

Warm brown skin

Under the blankets 

My hedgehog is hidden


He is playful

and scurries around

Under the couch

and yet he is still found


he sleeps on the stars

and hums the notes

of which make him an angel

and in the sky, he floats


over he runs to get some water

he drinks and drinks 

before he begins  to hum again

but he stops to think


What my little artist 

is more than i ever will

but when he is asleep

he is peaceful and still


no more humming 

until the next day

when he goes over the music

for the holidays
