A few days before Monday's
surprise snow
we were dive-bombed
(lightly)
on our porch
by five or six of these
moths?
butterflies?
They seemed more moth
than butterfly
similar to Monarch
but not quite
similar to Viceroy
but not quite
anyone know what it is?
Something is sprouting here -
I can't remember what -
but love the surprise
and the energy
of these tenacious purple sprouts.
Any guesses
what plant this might be?
Speaking of strangers
(the moth and the sprouts)
a favorite literary convention
of mine is
a stranger comes to town.
Just writing that phrase
gets my brain
jumping!
Do you have a favorite
stranger comes to town
story?
I will quit
asking you
questions
right
now.
