Swallow

Rambunctious ones
I reflect on swallows
admire their dip and glide
sumpting on mosquitos
ballroom dancing
they trip over the pond
obsolete with pesticides




Sunday whirl: rambunctious, admire, swallows, pond, ballroom, obsolete

  3. Ha! I just commented about swallows dancing on Peggy's offering, and here is yet another glimpse of their flight/dance. The darkness at the end is sadly true. And I thank you for using the word sumpting...'tis a grand introduction for me. It may find it's way into one of my pieces, I love learning new words.

    Thank you Willow. Concise, lovely, and dark. What a great combo. :) I love this piece.

  4. Like Brenda, I really like the word 'sumpting.' And ah, the swallows have their own very fine style of ballroom dancing, don't they?
