Afternoon Mothering

An errant knight,

I mount my faithful steed

post tea-time,

charge through bramble weed

to rescue my fair children from their learning

together, we race past Lochness-shaped lake,

pause to let pass three ducklings,

then swiftly canter

below the ever-changing canopy

to vanquish all melancholy.

Our smiles, the swords we brandish

on our noble quest to be ourselves

in the land of aphantasia and uniformity.

    • Thank you, John. Yes, we are enjoying our new e-bike. It’s a RadWagon. The hill help is great and also the ability to go farther with both my littles in tow. They are huge fans of what they are calling our “horse.”
