soggy

dodging earthworms on the street,

lest they squish beneath my feet,

how much do you want to bet,

that my morning's paper's wet,

soggy paper, soggy shoes,

i don't need to know the news,

if it's wet i do not mind,

the jumble can be done online.

flowering fridays

marvelously colored, malachite,

on a flower pink and bright,

captured quickly in the light,

knowing you will soon take flight,
