Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The Good Sign

The Hopi young warrior did pray

To Mother Earth to bring him word

That in him courage would display.

He saw a canyon wren war bird,

And sighting this did fill him with

Strength of his body, heart and soul.

He now would believe in the myth

He had been taught as worthy goal.

Later in the day would begin

His first battle and now he would

Go forth armed with the canyon wren,

With the courage to help make good.

And he fought well, beyond belief,

This young warrior became war chief.
