Sigh.
My world today can be summed up in my Facebook status update: "Note to self: when juicing, remember to put a cup under the spout."
Only 13 words, but it wasn't written for this prompt.
My previous submission here contained fewer words than that, but didn't describe my world, because it included a photo taken while I was visiting an island off the coast of British Columbia, my home province.
So...my world now...in 35 words...
snore of dog
louder than wind in trees.
trees: tallest things
on my horizon—
no mountains,
no hills on this prairie,
no ocean anywhere.
I am an alien
I live here now
and it's good.

The first one made me laugh... I love the second one.
I so loved the note to self!!!!! My sistah-woman! love the poem, the wind in the trees, the feeling like an alien but that life is good anyway. Awesome.
your prairie life is looking good ~ thanks for sharing the picture too ~
You had me laughing with "snore of dog." That's my world, too!
I love it! An alien in a good place with dog and tree and wind and sound to build on. And exactly 35 words.
Wow, I can so relate to this view~
I love wind in the trees :D
Aha... so Lindy snores loudly does she? This is beautiful, Kay.
35 words or less: your no cup juice would have fitted nicely.
HILARIOUS! - "Note to self: when juicing, remember to put a cup under the spout." :D
