I like a crispy stalk of celery
to stir a Caesar’s spice,
or a wedge of tart lemon
squeezable in tea that is iced
and cinnamon is delectable
when steeping in hot cider
but never in my sipping days
have I requested a side of spider.
(Based on an actual incident. Photo is proof.)
Reflections on Canadian Culture From Below the Border
the side of me most people never see
Poetry, haiku, tanka, and micropoetry
How I see the world
beauty is subversive in the distemper of these times
Blue Fences
Wake Up!
No Camera Needed
Protection and Education for Wild Horses
A journal dedicated to celebrating the beauty of birds
Candid cultural comments from the Isles of Wonder
Sea, sand and space, And all Calliope's grace...
photography, poetry and ponderings of life
Sharing Poetry and Hugs
Our small family living in a 5th wheel following Dads work as a rock fall technician... what could go wrong?

Quite the surprise while enjoying a drink. I’ve looked in my coffee before and seen an unwelcomed, floating visitor. Just the thought of almost having swallowed the critter is very unpleasant.
