The Love of Little Things: Another little slice of life (#15)
Teeny tiny tree frog
surprised me on the door frame,
Made me think about
the little things,
the not so noticed, everyday things
that matter only to me
The little folk art man–
a gift from a friend for a time
when I needed
a little man to watch over me.
The little blossoms on the grapefruit tree,
a bountiful blossoming
we’ll have fruit to give away
next winter.
The smallest of all,
confetti, hand-colored scraps of paper
folded up intentionally
in a love letter from a first grader
wrapped with a hug.
Tiny treasures
symbols of simple
love.
Reflections on the Teche 
You poetry is filled with beautiful imagery. I love how you included photos too. Taking time to appreciate the simple things is such a joy.
Little things matter so much in our lives. Your words didn’t require the photos, but added an extra dimension to the words. Well done!
It brings such pleasure to remember and savor the small things. They are easy to pass by but your lovely words with photos will help remind me to be on this treasure hunt in my own life today.
It is the small stuff that really matters! Thanks for sharing!
Tiny things are full of power and meaning, and poetry is the perfect vehicle to capture our noticing and awareness. I love the line breaks and alliteration in your last stanza. Nicely done! 🙂
Wonderful, sweet, emotional
My favorite line: the not so noticed everyday things – the words are simple but state a truth so well.
The little things that give joy.
