illustration friday: bounce





We walk the grass 
with bouncy feet 
we do not guess
the noise beneath
the earth quaking
little heads aching
baby slugs and isopods
rainworms, old centepedes
a million legs crawling
to deeper places

But now you know,
so please: tiptoe!

  4. Aw, look at the mama slug! Your pictures always delight me. As the housemate of two senior girl-dogs, 'Lonely' nearly made my heart break!

  5. I haven't thought about the world beneath!... Now I'll be more careful, while going for a walk in nature!:) A wonderful drawing, that has caught the anxiety of all those tiny creatures! And although I don't like them (in general), you made me smile and feel compassion...
