The Hollow Country

by Caroline Small

Imagine a place

inside the earth,

deep, deep down

a hollow country

where the sound of water

echoes through the caverns,

rattles through the cracks,

clatters through the chinks

Imagine the people

who live in this place,

deep deep down,

in their secret world

where the water drips

and they dance in the caverns,

and run through the cracks

and whistle through the chinks

Imagine, one day, you could find them.........
