Sunlight & Prickly Spinach

Prickly Spinach is another page going into "N"s book. One more page and its off to Tasmania. yahoo. What a blast working on this book. I love orange so this was a joy to work in. It brought laughter to my heart. The background is fabric with garden words. I put a
skeleton leaf on it given to me by Sherry for another class we took together online. I used felt pieces, yarn, paper and thread leftovers.

Here is a poem I wrote. I am reading Poemcrazy suggested by Leilani. So glad she mentioned this book.

SUNLIGHT

hear the chirping crickets

feel the heat upon thy face

the touch of a dew-filled seat

a waft of smoke lingering in the air

sleep comes easy to the aged one.

minutes tick by - a peaceful cat nap.

no reminder of pain as she dreams

legs wrapped in cloth, body in mummified jacket

adrift on the clouds passing by.

awakened by a strange sound suddenly gone;

what was that disturbance - she snores.

I could not resist having fun at the end of the poem - laugh - don't take life so seriously.

and
