not that the rain
had forgotten the skies
It blew out of
but It sure told a vague story

343.
remember the string breaking
and you stepping on a pearl
the only one I had found?

the cook
carrying a large open crate of spinach
in his huge yellow-white teeth

began to leave and went
paid for enough or sold,
adjusted the One again And again
somewhat please always worry

#343 makes me want to hear the rest of the story…
I like making these little open ended stories for just this reason, it is fun to imagine the different scenarios that could be in play.
Nice “snipping”! I just love that title “Immediate and No Sooner” – you are a brilliant wordsmith! (oh and I have not forgotten the treat I am going to send you, I have to make it still, I am quite backlogged in life from a lot of travel) 🙂
Thank you! And don’t worry, I think it’s nice you want to send something, and and that you would take time to think of me. Enjoy things as they happen! I am always here.
