Be My GuestA Renhai by Zhanna P. Rader (zh.r) & Vaughn Seward (vs)Through the garden,
he walks ever so slowly —
the size of a fist.
/zh.rThe sound of crunch-crunching:
/zh.ra snail in the toothless mouth.
/vsA butterfly lands
on the black-and-orange back -
half-dome house.

I love my time in the garden. so much to see, hear and smell - oh and taste too :)
ReplyDeleteGood point of view - just a few centimetres above the ground. Good one. I should hove a look there more often.

Very cool. I teach a poetry unit to my sixth graders and they would really like this. :)
ReplyDeletegreat pictures -- I felt like I'd seen the turtle, too!
ReplyDeleteNice one. These younger readers ones offer so much to us older readers too. It's good to get closer to the subject, see it with a greater innocence.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 pet tortoises, and always smile when a tortoise-shell butterfly looks likely to land on one of their shells!
