In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Petrichor – 100 words

April 20, 2023 By Ellen

Petrichor

Not again, they groan

as fat splashes polka dot dry soil

quenching the plants

drenching the benches

and sending the fair-weather idlers back home

so the landscape is mine now and I can prance

through the mud in my new waterproofs

and my old wellington boots to admire

the world as it puts on a coat of green and a different

set of beasties scurries about in the moist caverns

under freshly scrolled ferns

the dogs and I think we’re alone in the trees,

in the rain,

until we pause and, beneath the drops

hear the symphony of the forest
