Did everyone read TFE's lovely biography of me? I'm apparently a shrimp these days (as if being 5'4" isn't shrimpy enough!). Ah well, at least Dr. M is quite tall enough for the both of us until science figures out how to restore me to my correct height.
So here is my effort for Monday's bus. Is it dangerous for the driver to be writing poetry too? You be the judge, but please keep in mind that I was in a very silly mood when I wrote this. I chose the middle picture prompt.
It’s kind of like -
a fish out of water -
a Yankee down South -
a frozen word from
a warm heart.
Your icy phrase
banishes me to the
cornfield until
spring.
I poke my head
around your
study door
and whisper with
great drama,
“Is it spring yet?”
made me smile.
