There’s something going around, and it’s invaded our household. My littlest one has been battling a bug, and so it made me think of this brevity inspired by science, but totally on the silly side. So, if you also feel inspired to spread some cheer, join me in penning some brevity, 25 words or less, to a microscopic image of your choice. Be sure to tag it. #petitepen and ping us back here if you make your own post.

Happy, healthy Tuesday!

Delightful Disease

He bleeds sunshine,
spreads rapturous, yellow sickness.

But, I’m inoculated.
Can’t catch cheery mucus,
contract blissful smiles,
incubate in his euphoria.

I'm autonomously immune.

    1. He’s much better this evening. Thank you. Spring and fall are hard seasons for him. Maybe more rest tonight without the littlest one rolling around in my bed. 🤣

    Here’s mine.

    nature’s secret
    under the scope

    a relation
    of the living
    and of the dead

    and
    of them coming back
    to the fore again

    Happy weekend, K.
