Good series, Masago and John
'Another Scoop'- all the world seems a scoop to me, at times! :)

devika
a good one
john
another enjoyable renhai
Great idea: icecream or sensation for the media? Many layers in that - and excellent to read in a loud voice.
Best wishes

a strong collaborative effort.
John, I was particularly struck by your first 3 lines... I have been trying to extend beyond natural topics... this is an excellent example
I like it! :)
What wonderful images each of these verses give. Most enjoyable read.
2nd verse certainly timely -- the birds are sure busy around here.
***I always am interested in my word verifications and this one was "manduet"
appropriate give that your words harmonized beautifully on this "scoop"
Thank you all!
I love the way the theme carries through these. The real, the natural and the play. Very strong images.
