A Sheltered Heart ~

as she

cloaks herself

in mourning

 the colors

of her mourning cloak

 reduce

her vulnerability

disguising

the condition of

her heart

as

Mourning Cloak

in 

North America

and

Camberwell Beauty

in

Housekeeping 101 ~

I knew I should have

been more diligent

about sweeping

cleaning

the refrigerator

it's all in

the hindsight

O ~

to catch

a little sun

now and then

addicted

to the pause

Daffodowndilly ~

she wore her

yellow sun-bonnet

she wore her

greenest gown

she turned to

the south wind

and curtsied up and down

she turned to

the sunlight

and shook

her yellow head

and whispered to

her neighbour

"winter is dead"

A.A. Milne

Lavender's Blue ~

this reminded me

of the song

we used

to sing

 as children

: : :

Lavender's blue dilly, dilly,
Lavender's green;
When I am king, dilly, dilly,
You shall be Queen.
Call up your men dilly, dilly,
Set them to work,
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly,
Some to the cart.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly,
Some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I, dilly, dilly,
Keep ourselves warm.

Indeed ~

He is risen!

He is risen, indeed!

Whistled Warnings ~

woodchucks

whistle

warnings

when

danger looms

at a fairly young age

I asked a neighbor if he would

teach me how to whistle

"whistling girls and cackling hens

always come to no good end"

there are variations to this rhyme

none seem to favor

female whistling

Adventure ~

 "When you see someone putting

Eggsactly ~

it is everlastingly funny

 that the proud, metaphysically ambitious,

 clamoring mind

 will hush if you give it an egg―
