trees

branches reaching up
wanting to touch the bright sun
roots keep them grounded

beaches

turquoise blue waters
soft white sandy shoreline
paradise surrounds

seasons

rebirth, then living
gracefully ending, then death
cyclical weather

snakes

slithery rubber
some safe, some totally not
coiled up beautiful 

flowers

colors of rainbow
multiple shapes, mostly round
such joy for noses

pets

human companion
best friends until very end
part of family

      1. You’re welcome!

        BTW, please feel free to call me ‘David’ because that is my first name.

        The word ‘ben’ simply means ‘son of’ in Hebrew and my father’s name was ‘Alexander’. I created my blog in his memory.

        I know ‘Ben’ is also a popular name in English… I’m sorry for the confusion!
