Ann Gilmour Poet Tanka

Gently They Mosey

 
your mouth wide open
inviting all and sundry 
gently they mosey
spiders ~ flies ~ are so nosey
at night keep your mouth shut tight

Rico Leffanta November 21, 2020 at 10:32 AM When I was in the military, there was a trooper we called, "Death" because he slept with mouth and eyes wide open, perhaps creating the desire for midnight snacks? Aloha! Rico Ann Gilmour November 22, 2020 at 11:04 AM Hahaha... I always love to read your comments Rico ~ 'midnight snacks' ~ wonderful! With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Victor Buhagiar November 21, 2020 at 12:53 AM That would be a fright. Hope all is relatively well with you. ~~ Ann Gilmour November 21, 2020 at 12:58 AM Yes and this morning on waking with such a dry mouth these words came to my mind, haha! I am okay dear Victor, thank you for asking. I hope you are well too. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
