I wish I had taken the picture without zooming in at all. This little guy was about the size of a US Quarter!

May Visual Poetry Prompt
Bartholomew Barker from Living Poetry is the host: https://livingpoetry.net/2022/05/02/may-visual-poetry-prompt-4/
Sweet child on the hill
Do you know you are great?
With warm breezes you sit
Nature will stay and wait.
Sweet child on the hill
Watch the birds fly high
Catching the wind
Under their wings, they fly
Sweet child on the hill
Hold your memories tight
Flowers, sunshine, warmth
Be bathed in Spring’s delight.

Donna is the host of this Go Dog Go Cafe prompt: https://godoggocafe.com/2022/05/04/haibun-wednesday-may-4-2022/
Your prompt this week is to write about the season you are in and something you do during that season. Go where the prompt leads.
Spring
Time to water and watch buds bloom. In a new place this year where new plants are popping up everywhere. The birds and squirrels eagerly look for nourishing treats.
Enjoying the warm
Evening breezes delightful
Smell the Earth’s perfume

Just to share
For anyone who saw or participated in Simply 6 Minutes this week, I wanted to share this picture with you. Jim talked about the wind blowing the trees. Then Debbie shared the interesting fact with me about the trees in Australia.

“Look Mama! The trees are dancing again!”
The tiny mother fairy flitted closer to her even tinier girl-child, enjoying the wonder on her daughters face as she watched the magic of the forest.
“They dance for you my little one, a very special honor because it means you are an Earth fairy, to protect and nourish all things of the Earth, living and inert my little love.”
“You mean like the dancing trees and singing rocks Mama, like those you mean and the rivers and animals and humans too Mama, right?”
“Well, I, I had never considered it but, as you said it then it must be so my child, so yes, humans too, although you know it is forbidden to be seen by one, don’t you?”

Elephant Trees ~ #Simply6Minutes
There’s a place, not known to thee
Where the forest grows some elephant trees
Were they once vines? I’ll never know
Did Jack’s Giant put on a show?
For the trunks branch down from heaven
There’s not one, ten, or even seven
Many elephants turned into wood
At least that’s what I see, what I understood
The forest of snouts is a miracle to see
A good place to climb or get down on one knee
The sun shines through a waving breeze
I hope all of those elephants never have to sneeze!

I didn’t get many words on this one, as I am not usually a rhyming poet 🙂
