The first day of spring is in a few days, & the Uber 5000 chicks celebrate with art.

The painting doesn’t get any higher than this. It is mostly 2 feet off the ground.

I tried hunching down low.

As you see, getting down on my knees & elbows worked better.

Here’s another gem for Kids’ Month, from Brenda Davis Harsham of Friendly Fairy Tale fame. This poem “Flying Away” (art by Sath) is a dream! Brenda, is also a dream. Thank you for all your support this month, with this your third KM poem!

Flying Away by Sath Flying Away, Used by Permission of Sath

We fly past the stars on silver wings,
rushing wind without and within.
All of life unfolds its answers
until we wake.
Alone.

Note: The first line refers to Roald Dahl’s Matilda. The art is courtesy of Sath, a wonderful street artist and international ambassador of art.
