Poem for her 358

Dear Readers,


The bed sheets

We put the off white bed sheet out over the leaves
The thought was tree sap staining
The idea is that the leaves will impart color
To the fibers of cotton in the sheet
And in a few weeks of the sun and the leaves
Being sure to take it in if it freezes
The color will be off the leaves and on the sheet
The art project is not new
We'd do this several times a year
The sheets were not the good ones on the bed
But what we'd cut into squares and make art with
But right now we are washing the flannel ones
The ones that we last used and the others
Before we put the new set on the bed
We need a nap soon and fresh sheets
Umm smell nice for naps
Right after we make this tea and plant these seeds
And tell each other happy birthday
And the dance to that new tune we found
Oh and there is that egg dish we want to try too
So many things, glad we can just nap now

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
