Words Are So Like Candy!

words~like candy to me

something that can float around in ones mind

 and stir those quiet thought filled places, like no other thing can.

today I thought of some words:

a basket full of skirts~

as I pulled one down, to layer under my summery pocketed cotton dress.

Wouldn't this be a cute name for a blog?

pine cones in a rambunctious line~

my hoarded collection, from various locations I have wandered to,

 standing in a row in my boudoir.

Christmas lights in a tangled spherical mass~

until the plug engages the socket,

 and reveals the glorious brilliance that was hidden in the heap.

dirty boy hands, feet and faces~

that accompany hard working sons, ones that willingly push the no-gas needed lawn mower.

a pocket full of rose petals-

a little girl's joy in stuffing her pockets so she will smell like Mama.

an abandoned bird feeder filled with helpless little wrens~

Mama and Papa wren tirelessly running to and fro with food for their never-full brood.

flickering green lights that dance in the window, on an arid evening~

waking me first with fear and then reassurance that summer is actually here!
