lollygagging mode
adrift to the days of old
a sense of well being –
recess bell spawns youthful dash –
dusty school yard – smell of rain

For Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday where the prompt words are synonyms of “slow & work”.
I used “lollygagging & spawn”.
Lollygagging…what’s not to love about that word. I can hear my Primary School teacher’s voice (Mrs Beckford), “stop lollygagging and get in with it!”

What a sweet memory, Pat. I do love the smell of rain… snow, for that matter, too. Weather is exhilarating. So glad to have you back. โค

And, each state’s snow smells different to me. The rain too. I think it’s the different dirt compositions that blow around with the moisture. ๐
