no bigger than a grub
They called me Bud
they said "No Way He Is Just A Baby!"
So they called me Shady
as is all leaves duty
They changed my name to Beauty
on the winds that blew
I did roam
for some animal I became an appetizer
Now my name is simply.. fertilizer

ReplyDeletePlease forgive the background of this entry .. I know it is hard to read this way.. but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the background of my blog to be a color instead of transparent without the entire thing becoming that background color too.. so once again.. please bear with me.. I am a work in progress and I will in time figure the ways of doing what I want it to! :o)
ReplyDeleteDang Vinnie your fast! lol.. this has been posted for 3 seconds! I am so glad you like it.. it took me about 10 minutes to figure this one out.. maybe I am just full of fertilizer and it comes out quick sometimes!!! lol
ReplyDeleteFace it girl you are talented in many ways. I am glad that through the challenges that you have the opportunity to show them off.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Going through the various phases.
ReplyDeletehanging in repose, waiting to be exposed, when the time is right in the bright sunlight
ReplyDeleteThen came the day, I could come out and play.....in the soft and gentle wind
I soaked up the sun, so the roots could run, and danced in the storms and the rain
the came the time, color changing sublime, as the warmth slowly faded away
I was so tired, my vesture all mired, yet my job was done
finally released, to be crunched under feet in expectation of the new season.
Um........best I could do on such short notice LOL Hugs!
I would say that you did a wonderful job Alterb4ego!

LOL at Dio ... he's such a card!
ReplyDeleteI rather like the seasonal name-changing - right through to the fertilizer. It's original and cleverly conceived. Well done!
