giant.

Posted on October 13, 2015 by beth

kinders size up the leaves

that are

like nothing they’ve seen before

much bigger than their heads

with a color

like shiny crayons

they must be

leftover

from the time of the dinosaurs.

—

the world is a giant puzzle that hasn’t been put together yet,

and were trying to

find the other piece of this puzzle that goes with us.

Awesome! Great photo. I love the reaction, and the juxtaposition of ancient with young, flora and fawn, texture and touch.

I missed this precious post with huge leaves and profound thoughts! Great quote from e.e.cummings. don’t get upset but the language arts teacher (in me ) thinks he meant “we’re” not were. I hope we can be friends that point things out. . . :) :)
