Admirable and concise. Quite some years ago, I sent a little prose image around for Christmas...

Two black dachshund puppies playing with a red rubber ball.

Cheating, of course, since I actually saw it (on neatly mowed green grass, at that) but better than fruitcake.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks. Is it really cheating when you see it happen, if so this one is half cheating. I saw seagulls trying to chase away a red kite (bird of prey) and thought about the wordplay then changed it to a crow.

I wonder if Basho ever saw the frog?

Thanks,

Mark

I love the use of imagery in this poem of yours. The instant satisfaction of create an image in my head from just reading your poem is amazing.

Hello AR,

enjoyed the brevity and double meaning here.
Dare I suggest 'black crow' for the circular contrast?

cheers.......P
