Poem Artwork

... and so, I go to shoot sunflowers.
Walking through the burnt grass, I
feel something sticking with every

step I take.  Look down, nothing ----
at least nothing I can see.  Take
another step.  What IS that poking

me?  Get my sunflowers on film,
go back home, only to find the
bottom of my dress loaded with

little stickers.  Another pleasantry
of living in Texas ---- grass burrs.
Pick them off one *ouch* by one

*ouch* by *OUCH!* one.  Fireants
and spiders and neverending heat
bad enough without little prick(ler)s.

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (8/8)

Can relate Karla, we got 'em in Oz too! Along with funnel-webs, taipans, goannas and many more deadly bush critters.

Best wishes,

Lots of little (and big) prick(ler)s around these days; it's best to be very careful.

We use to find those little buggers in California, back when I was a kid.
