    morning crumbs...
    sparrows mingle among
    the Volvos

    good morning deb,
    again, glad to see your work posted in tinywords. reading "about the author", i found myself laughing, while thinking, mine mostly appear in my mind.

    the sun hasn't gotten here, yet.
    in three hours, i'll send it your way.

    funny, the things that cross one's mind, while awaiting inspiration

    tc


    eternally

    just me

    tropical resort
    lunching on the veranda
    brightly feathered guests



    Deb's and the 'ku(s) above brought me back to Hawaii (for a lovely brief moment) and while still waiting for temps here at home to elevate that was (for me) a definite AHA! moment...thanks!

    unwelcome guests
    these ants of spring
    our home is their home

    Bill:

    Well, one could "resort" to those (tasty?) ants just as those who did with the (yummy) feathered "guests"!

    Mixx:

    The ants have departed—too considerate, I guess, to overstay their unwelcome.

    mixx and bill,
    my compliments and one to compliment the
    compliments to debbie's ku.


    giant ants
    the post nuclear world
    crawls into focus


    ant hill
    grandpa tells me to
    "get a move on"

    winter trail
    lone ant
    on the wall

    after the wait -
    pale blue shell fragments
    cross the lawn
    fledgling in flight
