    Old Ollie,
    I am very concerned that tired monk, might be homeless!
    Unless of course he can seek refuge in a teacup!!
    I love these adventures.....

    What a storm aftermath....saging roofs are never good for anyone even a tired monk. :-)

    A sagging roof could be dangerous Ollie.

    Flaubert is right. Here, please put on this hard hat. I'm worried about you now!

    Never good when the garden is sifting through the roof...though I suppose you could turf it and graze a few small animals...nonsense aside, sharp image,simply stated, fine micropoem.

    edit: my word verification was pignolia--I'm seeing the grazing thing even more clearly now.

    I know what that means - it means sandstorm. And as for being homeless...isn't he a poet? A poet monk is a blessed homeless person making his way up the mountain (at least in my mind)..so I'm sorry for the sandy setback. He'll write himself out of it I am quite sure. Thanks, Gay @beachanny
