pet peeves



admiring the gardens,
what do I truly see
blossoming flowers,
fruit laden green trees-
dandelions blooming
along with sweet peas;
puddle of rain water
or is it my pet's pee?

This is a re-worked post. I thought it suited the prompt rather well. As I seldom write anything light like this, now I wait for brickbats..:)

  2. None from me either. Your take on the theme is not dis-similar from mine.

  4. OK - not a brick-bat but a small nit-pick - do you really need that word "truly"?

    otherwise it is fine.
