My response to Imaginary Garden with Real Toads Sunday Mini Challenge: one this snowflake ~ Micro Poetry
sheen of lichen
yellow & silver
adorns the roof
suns
stars
moons
shimmering
against slate & tile
micro cosmos
with its own constellations

I like the contrast “shimmering against slate and tile”—it brings such a tactile element to the piece that’s really beautiful.
