Friend or foe?
Do I want to know
what beast laid
footprints
in
my
backyard
snow?
#micropoetry #SOL18
I live in Maine. The field behind my house is often a highway of animal tracks. We have coyote, foxes, raccoons, and possums as well as our more domesticated friends. I love to trying to determine the creator of each track and their intended destination before the warmth of the sun’s rays distorts them beyond recognition or melts them from memory.
Wow! I’m in awe of how you can create such a powerful poem with so few words. Hoping the tracks are from a friend, not a foe.
Beautiful poem – and such an exciting find!! We are hoping to get to Maine this very weekend; my parents are in Saco. Happy slicing!
I love looking at animal tracks. Although, they were talking on the news this week that they have spotted a cougar on the north side of Milwaukee, about 90 minutes from me. I hope he stays up there. I don’t want his tracks in my snow.
Maine sounds like the coolest place ever. Of course, it probably doesn’t hurt that some of the best people in the world live there!
Haa! Love you, Aileen!
I love the wondering captured in these few words. Very fun!
I love your #micropoetry idea for slices. Simple, yet packs a powerful punch!
