Ivy In The Glass Tumbler
A sprig of ivy,
rescued from the waterlogged
side of the house,
small leaves, early green satin,
struggles to reach top of
the glass, as a child reaches
in the deep end of the pool.
The tiny roots just
beginning to show in
crystal water, early
cream color cooled
with smooth pieces
of sea glass treasures
from another day.
The tumbler, a remant
from her child,
a whimsical scene from
the Great Muppet Caper
scrolled around its center,
colorful characters
remembrance of simpler times.

I guess we both wrote about rescued plants! Beautiful images, as always. Love the sprig struggling to reach the glass top like a child. Glad to read your poems again, Lee.

Great movement in this image you created. I can really see this:
struggles to reach top of
the glass, as a child reaches
in the deep end of the pool.
