I watched a flower closely, on a windless day; startled, when at first I saw it sway. Staring close, I watched in disbelief a ladybug, scampering on its leaf. I realized then, that flowers are like we. they giggle when they’re tickled, for all the world to see.

thanks for the compliment Gershon I just wish I had some of your spontaneity. You seem to breathe poetry, so natural the way you write. You look, you write. I look and think and fiddle and scratch, too much between eye and word sometimes.
