Carpe Diem #941 Heart The blue-eyed, blond haired boy stole my heart when he was just a kicking fetus. The love continued to grow as we watched him coo, then talk his special talk. Grandaddy, (Nandad) always let him play with the tool box. Screwdrivers were i-dikers. Caboose was bagoose. The Playskool Tyke Bike was and is nooden-nooden. When looking for someone, he would say their name in a sing song, quizzical fashion while shaking his head in a negative fashion. He now uses words he learned during his college and grad school years two decades ago. These words are not nearly as fun as those precious made up toddler words. thunderclap acts as a bossy stormhorn rainbrella time! © Janice 'petra domina' Adcock Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI
Nicely done! I was thinking of fireflies too but couldn't come up with a third line.

DeleteA beautiful concept and idea. Should it be 'writes'?
ReplyDeleteI struggled with that. With fireflies plural, writes would be singular verb therefore not agreeing with the noun. I actually had the fireflies as singular (firefly) at first which would make writes the proper verb for noun/verb agreement.
