today I braved the sky
like a kite
in a basket

rugged up to the nines
and the tens
in a basket

patchwork quilt below
finely stitched
in a basket

propane tongues of fire
roaring hot
in a basket

floating like Pooh Bear
heart alight
in a basket

daughter by my side
nose a-glow
in a basket

soft and gentle landing
on a cowpat...

Whoops!

Time to get out of the basket -
carefully...




Thanks to all the family for my unforgettable birthday adventure.
