Gnome Scavenger Hunt

Hop on a hike and find me hidden

flit on a footpath, no turn forbidden.

Wander toward slow moving water

Hop on a hike and find me hidden

flit on a footpath, no turn forbidden.

Wander toward slow moving water

stumble upon a stone sitting hopper.

Right near rocks you find I reside,

no gnome should call it home, the place that I hide.<_o3a_p><_o3a_p><_o3a_p>

Delve down in the direction of Miss Diggins

and head higher up, on a hill I am hidden.

Upon approach, peer at a pleasant pond

but blaze forward boldly I am just beyond.

Survey the snow and serene scenery

to end take note of the tangle twisted tree.<_o3a_p>

While I near the path a figure stands bare,

with his arms stretched wide and a smile that can scare

I hear the trains rush night and day

To whoever finds me, I have a lot to say.While I near the path a figure stands bare,

Small of stature, yet so wise and keen

they stand before me so serene.

I watch as they twist and flip with perfect might

an athlete frozen in mid-flight.<_o3a_p>

I stand so still in a park of paws

among the barks and playful jaws.

I have great view of dogs big and small

I wish that I can join them all.<_o3a_p><_o3a_p>

<_o3a_p>In a playground bright, where laughter is free

I hide by a mighty tree watching those swing with glee.

This bench fits many the whole family indeed

If you keep your eyes sharp I know you will succeed.<_o3a_p><_o3a_p>

A tiny figure is found near a trunk tall and wide

many hide in the shadows where animals often abide.

The branches reach up so high in a bind

But I am down low where only some will find.<_o3a_p><_o3a_p>

Past the prairie and beyond the wetlands

not far off the path is where I stand.

Upper lake greets me morning and night

a nature made portal should be in your sight.

The ducks say hello in the place where I live

but if you don't respond they'll never forgive.
