An Ode to Life’s Small Treasures;
Grandiose Unrealized Pleasures 6:30 am, the arse crack of dawn, a time for the devil’s spawn, or so I had thought... I never knew such beautiful skies! I kid you not! Opulent pearly pink, incandescent sky, sultry shades of sorbet sashay. Bloomy roars, reverberating cheery encouragements. Optimistic rosy glow, vibrantly voicing hope, radiating a golden orb of fiery faith in rocky times, peeking out from the sinister buzzkill clouds; Glorious red and yellow blazing, entwining flames of citrus in sky mirrors, topsy turvy glassy reflections make me tipsy.

Battle by the creek:
Red squirrel defends domain; On offense now, a chase ensues. It can’t be that bad -- nuthatches laugh. Woodpeckers go about their day, knocking all the way. Crow butts in, causing chaotic scattering. Turkey vulture circles, joined by a kettle looking to kill. Here, life goes on. Robin announces it’s Spring. Dark eyed and grey Juncos peeping in the shadows of the earth. Squirrels galore, gathering and chittering. Laughing Cardinal love is in the air; Red croons to his love. She, joins him — a fine pair! Mourning dove laments — We can never be who we were before. Doggy days indeed. And still -- We laugh. Prompt: place (at this time) First Draft...
