Favorite Quote:
“I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party; and I attended with my real face.” ~Franz Kafka


Roly poly ,

Compact and small.

A doodlebug ,

Two thorns , so tall.

 


Nesting by the sycamore ,

Chewing on a leaf.

As an autumn glee ,

Sits in the air.

 


For a melody far away ,

Lies wringing beneath the foliage.

And soon the fulgent moon sweeps in ,

Good night little doodlebug.
