Praying Mantis at basement door
I had not seen you here before
So lime green you stand out
Scarey enough to make me shout
Died next day in pool filter__gore

Cute limerick, Sara. I hate to see insects dying in pools. But you made the message delightfully lighthearted. Love, Carolyn

at least you weren't too frightened. reminds me of the dream i had last night, about a bug creeping out of my mouth, and then this other guys mouth, who was with his friends.they laughed and told him "maybe you need to keep your mouth closed dude." i hope your day is great, Sara(: ~Always&Forever
