Speared! for FOTD Dec 20, 2023

I have lots of new photos of flowers, but cannot resist posting this photo instead. I swear it was not set up. I found it exactly as photographed! If the bottom spear is a Mother in Law Plant, then the leaf must be the Son in Law!

Deck the Halls

Interspecies Advice, For Wordle 352

Interspecies Advice

I threw my troubles overboard, but they refused to sink.
They came rolling right back to me, washed pure and clean and pink.
I hardly recognized them, as they looked so fresh and new,
free of the ooze and grime and dirt and all the past year’s goo.

I wiped them dry on dungarees, and, my efforts spent,
I found out just exactly where all my troubles went.
My jeans now stained and ruined, of my troubles I’m not rid.
My troubles had popped out again from where they’d only hid!

So please tell the panda, the giraffe and kangaroo,
that whate’er you do to rid yourself, past troubles will find you!
You can hide up in the treetops or bound over the plain,
but your troubles will come after you and cling to you again.

Words for Wordlle prompt 352 are: fresh, clean, pure, ooze, dungarees, ruin, rolling, panda, spent, overboard, sink, new.

Evolution or Devolution? For the Sunday Whirl Wordle 632

I moved the ammonite fossil from the wall ledge to the ground, where it was safer from nudgings by cats,

Evolution or Devolution?

Their footsteps  form a timepiece pressed into the rock:
portraits of a planet learning how to walk.
Bent on following a plan well out of their control,
instincts prodding them to race to fulfill their role.

Each tiny part of nature bound to do its part,
facing threats against the evolution of the heart.
What part of mankind’s journey waits around the bend?
Will our progress finally bring about our end?

 

For Sunday Whirl Wordle 632 the prompt words are: control rock portrait timepiece bent plan threats instinct race part footsteps planet
