small poem

a sidewalk stove
chubby hands make believe
sun- baked pies

I like the implication in this. Clever image, too.

Lovely snapshot of a moment.

That is a gorgeous image. With Deb's contribution this week, I am no longer facing early autumn but turning back and reflecting on the wonders of childhood and the power of imagination.

Love the innocence of this image. We should do more of this kind of thing as adults!

Hi Susan--
For some reason, I can't see the image...but I'm imagining!

Thanks for this visceral image. I still love to play in the mud...

A perfect example of fleeting. My grandsons were only small about five minutes, it seems.

Susan, please tell your guy I said thank you!

What a tactile poem. It took me back into childhood which has defintely fled from me.

I shall forever take seconds (and thirds) of sun-baked pies.

Truly beautiful. "Chubby hands" just lends so much to the image I've conjured in my mind.
