Rodents can be loquacious
That includes your average gerbil
They love to prattle, chat and blather

Hamsters are talkative too
Just as garrulous as can...

Premium Member When He Smiles
The sun shines again 
for he smiles.
The indeterminable day no longer flees or hides
for its end is sought, as is its beginning

for the flowers are blooming and the grass is high…

Premium Member Sound and Movement
"Move!" sounds command.
I stir, arise, lift a laggard hand.

It was a weird outing in the evening

We saw fuming ashes

We saw failed elephants

We heard the tales of fallen petals
