Garden Love
One of those common California lizards
on my flagstone walk
pumps itself up and down
on bent-twig front legs.
Not certain if a lady lizard
curtsies to a shy suitor
hidden in the nasturtium
or a less-than-gentlemanly fellow
insinuates the humptyhump
to a disinterested damsel.

I can see it clearly, like a David Attenborough episode of Life On Our Planet. Whether its a lady or a gruff male, they will each get it in the end...................
I like the poem !!

Funny and sad Linda.
Actually it's all sad...from the male's point of view; he's either a wimp or an a-hole
'curtseys'? Did your spell check not tell you 'curtsies'? Maybe it's an Americanism?
humptyhump oh Linda... that really made me laugh
This is what it is, light and lovely

Re: Garden Love
I enjoyed this. I find no sadness in nature but wonder. Likewise in the human capacity for transferring human feeling to animals: and doesn't my cat know it.

Obviously--their children run all over the place. Thanks AJ.

No, it's an indarism. If it isn't underlined it looks fine to me. Thanks for the catch Colm and, uh, don't be sad.

My dog understands every word I say to her she just acts dumb so she doesn't have to respond. Thanks Dave. Say hi to your cat from Ursula
