Four lines noticing the swish and trail of an aunt's dress moving through the house. It is small and precise, over almost as soon as it begins, which suits a very short attention span.
From A Child's Garden of Verses. See the whole collection.
Whenever Auntie moves around,
Her dresses make a curious sound,
They trail behind her up the floor,
And trundle after through the door.
About this poem
Confirmed as a 4-line poem, text matches exactly; purely descriptive, no narrative.
Four lines, and the whole poem is a sound: the swish and trail of a long skirt moving through the house. It's one of the smaller poems in A Child's Garden of Verses, more a noticed detail than a story. Trail a scarf or a long coat across the floor as you read it, and let a child listen for the sound.
