2141. wigwams

camping out

in their modern-day wigwams

the lenni lenape

 

Colorful campsite. A short distance away, all their cars were parked along the gravel road at the edge of the woods. The license plate on every car was from Delaware. This made me wonder if these campers were descended from the Lenape Tribe, also known as the Delaware Nation, the indigenous “Original People” of the Greater Delaware Valley. I also read that the Lenni Lenape were highly regarded by other Native American nations and were given the name “Grandfathers” for their respected roles as peacemakers and elders. 

2140. about a leaf

 

two eyes and ears

oh no! what’s happened to my nose

cries the elephant 

*

like you and me

every leaf has a story to tell—

think about it

What to write about these leaves… Leaves, leaves, nothing but leaves…but wait a minute, that leaf has eyes, sad and lonely little eyes, looking down and out and in the dumps. Makes me wonder…Do leaves on trees have feelings? Do leaves feel sad when they leave their tree and tumble all the way down, all the way down to the ground?

 

2140. she—he

words just won’t come—

she shuts down her phone

for the ‘nth time!

She: “Some mornings I’ve got nothing. I just can’t think of anything to say.” 😝

He: “Yeah yeah. Just do something.” 😘
