A verbing for Selma Martin
Each day I go springing outside
with my mulberried hair
caping for gooseberries
measurling the seed growth
as they go jacking and beanstalking up the citrus
I pond for snails
then meadow in the mellow grasses
turpentining my time
ladybugging out
petalled by leafhoppers

. 🤣 m’lady! What fun you brought me. Mulberried hair is gorgeous. And the rest, spectacular. I was sure you’d be this good. Bless you. Be well. Happy springing
