“happy nod”

Written for:  The Twiglets #323 - happy nod


Her face bobbed
up and down
like a beachball.
as she nodded yes
to his proposal.


Alice nodded off
under a shady tree.
She woke to find herself
in a strange land.


sun sparkles lake
she nods her head happily
words would break the spell


          The strange thing about Mr. Mertz–
           his reactions worked in reverse.
               nodded yes to a hike
           with boy scouts he disliked.
   Adding woods and bugs, that nod proved he was cursed.
