National Tell a Story Day with Critters

Welcome to

 SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

and today is

 National Tell A Story Day

First I hope everyone's Easter was bunny-wonderful

and the happiest of celebrations in whatever manner you celebrate.

Live your truth.

Express your love.

Share your enthusiasm.

Dance and sing to your music.

Embrace your blessings.

For National Tell A Story Day

Follow the Gnome

I slowly began to roam 

across the open field

feeling as if an invisible dragon had crossed this way

when out of the pond a watery foam

should appear 

yet, not a Gnome this way.

Knowing any comparisons for a Gnome 

are most inadequate without a poem

It bears repeating that this hug buddy isn't a Gnome

either, I swear.

But where?

Beneath the stars?

Finally, just out of the darkness with shimmering eyes a Gnome

like magic shining in the moonlight

out from under an unbelievable full moon-

should appear

(not a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer)

but yes, a wee little guy (they call gnome)

weaving his kindness and intelligence 

and a wee bit of shenanigans
our way.

and not to forget the characteristic of any Gnome

is like the driving force of the family dog (or cat)

in every home

each possessing their own powerful strength 

with a lovable tone

and superior capacity with a dome

of compassion and wit no matter where they roam.

and so it goes

they're most often lost incognito by way of their secretive 

offerings of happiness and vividly suggestive imaginations.

In places where only the Gnome

and the moon knows.

The End.

May your weekend be filled with happiness,

genuine spring, and all the love you can gather.

Thanks for stopping in.
