Miniscule Hunt

Lilliputian explorer

Microscopic adventure

Dwarfed by poppy trees

Tiny opaque wings

Gently fluttering

Pocket-sized beauty

Weaving through

The teeny-weeny posies

Escorted along

By tiddly little ladybugs

Diminutive Voyager

On a scaled down

Escapade

Mini micro-sized dress

On a small traveler

With a nanoscopic

PB&J in the vest pocket

Always ready for

A small-scale picnic

Little-bitty globetrotter

Roving through

Her wee world

Gallavanting

Through the sun motes

This bravehearted

Teensy-weensy pioneer

Traversing her

Pint-sized domain

Searching for wee trinkets

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Who knew there were so many synonyms for "small" lol. You've carved such a beautiful image of adventure here and it's one I'd love to see for real.

  • Awww, I wanna eat tiny PB&Js too! Hehehehe. Loved your poem!

    I love little bitty globetrotter - it sounds so lovely. This is so lovely. I also felt pretty peckish after reading PB&J! Yum!

  • As the camera pans back from her treasured stash to reveal the tiny bit of garden or field or forest or trash heap or playground ala "A Bug's Life" or "Antz". How much bigger & more amazing is this whole big wide world than our tiny minds can ever imagine.

    Aw a treasure hunt, I just read on the internet today that in the US someone found coins that were from before Christ. Can you imagine. Beautiful poem Mother Combs. Nicely Done!!!

    Well-wrought! For some reason, the thought of a miniscule PB & J sandwich delights me, but I do love sammiches...

  • A lovely tiny treasure hunt
