pineapple crush topped with green mint froth
over her toes
as she lay napping under the yew
a spray of prickly pssticisms

resentful of having to trudge
all the way out here
on yet another nature trip
he had other ideas of
discovery of nature
his own nature taking priority

ReplyDeleteA funny little story and clever use of the words. :-)
