Odds are on the Cloud

     as the black cloud
     descends 
     on his field
     the fierce scarecrow 
     springs to life…
     pink plastic
     flyswatter
     in each
     hand

I love this picture. You have invented a new scarecrow, one that's never been seen before. I like the flowing imagination.

First thing I've ever 'invented,' as far as I know. Thanks, Hilda!

'Laughter is the best medicine' -- even if you're feeling great, which I hope is the case! It's 'preventive medicine!' :) gw
