Delicious, enjoyable imagery, Ali — and perfect last lines! (I meant to comment on this earlier when I “liked” it but got interrupted. Finally just getting back to it to enjoy it again. 🙂 )
Hope you’ve gotten through this rainy week okay. We’re just north of Portland and were under a flood watch for 3 days. Crazy!

Yes, it has been dumping rain here but that’s better than having a drought. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my poems. I appreciate the feedback.

Such rich descriptions for the changing of the seasons, Ali. “Colored by a lack of chlorophyll” and that last stanza was perfection! Excellent. 🙂

The world is really an amazing place. Kids are great at reminding us of this wonder when we forget. I know you have experienced this so many times since you work with littles.
