JUNE 2019 -- PORCUPINE INSPIRATION


PORCUPINE DAYS

It’s been one of those days

Those days when you think

It may have been better

If you’d pulled up the covers

And slumbered ‘til noon

Rested ‘til three

Drowsed until six

Napped until nine

And then called it a day

It’s been one of those days.

NAPPING’S NOT FOR AMATEURS

Napping’s not for amateurs

It takes uncanny talent

You often have to make due

With unusual sleeping spots

There isn’t time for picky

When your eyes are drooping shut

You have to hope that slumber

Softens any less than perfect bed.




A couple of silly ditties inspired by this pin: Napping Porcupine

MAY 2019 -- ALL CREATURES SMALL


All Creatures Small 






Consider the snail . . .
House on his back, here or there,
Always at home.











Notice the earthworm . . .
Decomposing plant litter
Into garden gold.













Study ladybugs . . .
Keeping aphids at bay takes
Garden Amazons.











Enjoy the pill bug . . .  
Crustacean out of water,
Roly poly ball.










Savor the cricket . . .
Virtuoso of the fields
Night music for all.

APRIL 2019 -- Some Thoughts on the Coming of Spring


Snowpack melts
Waters rise
Turning fields
Into Swamps
Forcing farmers
To Delay
Spring planting
Until dry



All that winter white
Melted into springtime mud
Brings summer color

 


Savor the
Pouring
Rain
It invites
New
Growth
