Tricky Wickers

May you

five slap joy in wet feet

and carry boots

with large holes—

alligator almost caught toes

playing golf

in Florida.  No look up

when flocks

dash by flying high.

Bedtime snores

and snuffles

mean tomorrow’s sun

will tippy-toe

on your forehead.

Note: “wicker” a noun for branches that can be woven

 together, as the above stories are woven into the poem.
