Today's poem comes from The Street Beneath My Feet, written by Charlotte Guillain and illustrated by Yuval Zommer.
Beneath My Feet
walking the city streets
stop and look down
what's deep in the ground
under your feet?
pipes, wires, and cables
earthworms loosening soil
centipedes and microorganisms
the sewer where wastewater goes
rats!
history, objects left behind
coins, pottery, swords
skeletons
loud rumbling noise - train!
passengers, stations, tunnels
limestone cave
stalactites and stalagmites
underground river
rock plates
partly melted rock
liquid iron and nickel
solid iron crystals
at the center
the hottest place on the planet
