It's coming up to midday here; I'm still on the liquid diet, but Coo points out I can eat anything I want online 🥪🍟🍩🍒🥂
As we're with Little Mo (sphinx-guinea), here's her villanelle:
Mo lopes and leaps in autumn air
beneath the cider apple tree,
the sun upon her golden hair,
then stops awhile to sit and stare
before another glad
Whee-hee!
Mo lopes and leaps in autumn air
of windblown apple, plum, and pear
and music of the bumbling bee,
the sun upon her golden hair,
and sniffs towards the crop rows, where
there's ryegrass growing fresh for tea;
Mo lopes and leaps in autumn air,
as I throw in some snacks to share,
she eats her fodderbeets with glee,
the sun upon her golden hair;
I smile and watch her from my chair,
this little life, such joy to see:
Mo lopes and leaps in autumn air,
the sun upon her golden hair.
'Basil' grows fodderbeet especially for the guineas :-)
