tour de force
triumph
in grace thrusting
so to feel the sun’s kisses
the sprout bursts through concrete
éclat

Love this one Kat, I am always amazed by nature’s strength to push a gentle weightless flower through concrete! I have seen a mushroom/toadstool do the very same through pavement! 💜

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen that…a mushroom through pavement. Nature always reclaims a space if left untended.

Lovely writing Kat. I’m always astonished by how tree roots can lift up paving stones, bit by bit. The quiet power of nature…

That is a perfect example Francine. And we humans think we are masters of this place…

A lovely Cinquain, Kat. I just spent a couple hours reseeding and spreading compost on my backyard. It was so dry I had tons of die off. Guess what grew in the dead spots? Dandelions! LOL! 😀

LOL! It was a mess. My poor Sugar dog, was so sick. Her pee killed much of the grass. Poor baby. 😦

Oh dear. I remember Lucy doing the same to our front yard. But I’d rather have ruined grass…than not her. Miss that little bugger.

I miss my girls. I lost both of them last year. They would have been 14 years old in January. We were blessed to have their love. ❤
