spring irony



the leaning maple
appears to be faltering
even as it blooms.

Thanks to Shelley for kindly offering to exchange seed words. She sent “leaning” my way, and I burdened her with “rejuvenation” (and she made pretty good use of it). Oops, I actually burdened her with “regeneration” – she still did well with it.

    Cool beans, Howard! I like the way you wove the implied tension of "leaning" into this.

    Nice working with you. :-)
  • Thanks, it was a good trigger - I had a half dozen ideas based on it, but eventually settled on a nature-based theme.
