Flash Fiction
#FlashFiction
"Is it possible?" he asked.
"Possible..." She laid a hand against his cheek.
"...probable..." She slid an arm around his waist.
"...likely..." She pressed her body against his.
"...and very definitely true." She kissed him.

To The Entwives
TO THE ENTWIVES
I have known you when
your leaves were green and supple
as the Western wind.
I have known you when
your leaves were brown and brittle
as any promise.
And I have known you
bare as the barren Winter
in your slumbers deep.
But dearest I have
known are the new buds that formed
on your fingertips.
For in each season
I've loved you but most as you
woke and stretched in Spring.

Breakfast
Rewatching 'The Tale of Despereaux,' I finally realized who my breakfasts by Mr. C remind me of.

Witch cloud bends low on
her broom as a wee dragon
tries to steal her hat.

Branches scratch at the
memories of sunsets past.
Some old wounds still itch.

I shared a smile
with some not so shy violets
I met by the road.

#haiku
I wrote this a few months before Mr. C and I first "met" on Twitter, before the first time he called me "Sunbeam." Feels prophetic in retrospect.

Skylight Garden
I've been working on my skylight garden: succulents in mugs on the left, herbs (🎶 "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme..."🎵) in the middle and flowers on the right (violas and bellflowers). I will take the rosemary and thyme out of the cups when their roots develop. I have about 1,000 baby violas in the planter out front from seeds that dropped from my spring plants; so I dug a few up that would have been crowded out by the geranium anyway and planted them in a pot. 🌱😁
