Renhai Reflections 91: A Share of the Tree
A Share of the Tree
A Renhai by Zhanna P. Rader (zh.r) & Vaughn Seward (vs)
Chewing... chewing
with millions of others
in a green maple. /zh.r
A branch, near the top — /vs
this leaf, now just lace. /zh.r
A Baltimore oriole
warbles a song close by —
I crawl under. /vs

The first verse really sets the tone for this presenting a sharp image with the last verse adding a subtle touch of humor. Love this one. Well done you two!
interesting set, Masago and Zhanna
I liked all -- had to look for oriole :)

yes, as John said, delightful images
i really like this, and the versatility you show over again
This line is beautiful - 'this leaf, now just lace' - I'll try to remember that next time those pests chew something I've planted.
a little fiber for chewin' on. (:
I'm with Janice- the 1st line does it.

This is what they didn't tell us in "The very hungry caterpillar": Life is always perilous, too. I like it!
Best wishes
