Thereabout in the garage
Under the workbench
Behind a can of paint
Covered in dust
An old and rusty coffee can
A plastic lid with the brim peeling loose
This is a dirt receptacle
This is a home for pebbles and a stick
A sprig of weed can be planted here too
And set out in the yard
Under a ruined board
Soaked and dried
In itself an elemental or
Just the derelict child of weather gods
The terrarium is erected
Afternoon sun graces the weed
And a pill bug has moved in
And a worm is here too

The homemade terrarium! We always had one too, in the summers. Those fuzzy caterpillars lived in ours. Thanks for reminding me!
Makes me want to garden. I love gardening and dirt and weeds and pill bugs and plants and worms and rocks. Or stones, I guess stones are supposed to be nice rocks. Is it too early yet? Mother Nature's playground is the biggest one of all.
Me, too! I just got some new garden gloves and can't wait to get out there with the pill bugs and worms.
Most excellent! A new favorite for sure.
Yeah, pill bugs...they also seem to like toy boxes for some reason...
very nice. this has been a fun theme bringing back great memories.
Good post.
delightful verse and drawings!
I really like the pairings you've come up with here.
I love gardening so I guess I never grew out of that - or maybe I just grew back into it.
Those bicycle pictures are too much!
God you're brave wondering into the recesses of your shed if it looks anything like mine!

peace and love

Still giggling over "Dude Guy With Hat"...
I like!
great toy shed.
That's where I put the froggie wine opener! Thank god, I've been looking all over for that thing.
Hey I'm not going to post my painting for the public to see - too personal, but I'll email you a pic if you like. Let me know reyasdottir@verizon.net.
