The Fountain of Youth (A Poem & A Picture)


The fountain of youth is a murky pond
Fed by deep springs of optimism
Where no one dares to swim
Doubting toes splash at the shoreline
Mouths turned down like fingernail moons
A nervous frog leaps,
we run
Still, the ripple marks the flesh.

Curious Kitty & the Nosy Tomato

You know when I am not writing I enjoy gardening and photography so how great was it to find this? An adorable kitten and deformed produce!  Yeah I am easily amused.
