There's nothing quite as curiousAs a turtle trundling through the grass,With neck outstretched and toes extendedHe hopes that his escape's not ended.How cute he is. His home's a shell."Don't go so fast. Please stay a spell.We'd like to be close friends to youAnd live outside all summer too."

Little things make Me happy: Loaf of breadBright flowersSimple melodiesButterfliesA kind wordBreeze on a hot dayBirdsong Crickets chirpingHarmonySliced tomatoesCorn on the cobFriend returning After a journey.

Sun straight overheadI shield my eyesLook for shadeBut the roses' scent calls meI find pink, white, rosePinwheels twirlingIn children's handsAt a May Day Picnic.
