Renhai Reflections 103: Another Scoop


Another Scoop

A Renhai by John Daleiden (jd) & Vaughn Seward (vs)

An orange crane
lifts immense steel girders —
changing skyline. /jd

A piece of string in the beak — /vs
among tree buds, a new nest. /jd

Backyard sandbox —
the boy's backhoe lifts
another scoop. /vs

Great idea: icecream or sensation for the media? Many layers in that - and excellent to read in a loud voice.

Best wishes
Ralf

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"

I love the way the theme carries through these. The real, the natural and the play. Very strong images.
