Hello there,

How are you, Ma’am?

I’ve missed a spot?

Oh well, oh damn.

There’s no perfection

On the lam

And I’ve really

Got to scram.

Have you seen some

Elves around?

I’ve been told to

Look for rainbows

At the end of

Traffic jams,

(And yes, I know the

Gold’s a scam

But I’ll still give it

An exam).

 

 

 

For Terri’s Sunday Stills: Green

 

Mantic

In a world of Divine

Prophecies

Of all kinds,

Little wonder

A Mantis

Folds green limbs

To Life’s design.

 

 

Merriam-Webster’s word for June 13, 2018:
