A window view with dVerse poets….

i rake dead leaves
pick up fallen sticks
fill birdbath to brim

Having fun with a new poetic form, sevenling, introduced by De at dVerse!

rainbow recipe begins with basic

ingredients of primary colors:

real red, mellow yellow, too blue.

measure equal parts; blend with

fresh rainwater until secondary hues

appear: ore orange, preen green, riot violet.

Oh, may i please borrow a smidgeon of simple indigo?

This one for cousin Ben, jewelry designer at Simple Indigo 🙂
