A little something for our Thursday at Two Poetry group today, a week after a week's postponement due to the Mosquito Fire threatening our foothill communities... at least it gave me something to write about... lol ? Our challenge was something in the form: aaa bbb ccc ddd... so, tercets with a rhyme scheme, or some such.
