Happiness 101

HAPPINESS 101 squishing mud between my toes icky fingers in my nose frogs harrumphing in my pocket worms and bugs and itchy things lumps and bumps the scratching brings bugs and snakes and critters all long and short fat and tall funky muck from willow pond exploding tops of willow fronds feathers floating everywhere willow angels in my hair sticker burrs and sapling glue painted cheeks of berry blue munching on crab apple snacks following a bunny’s tracks humming drone of dragonfly’s butterfly’s of any size lying flat in lush green grass shaping clouds floating past a summer day, a dog, and me John G.
