“Hermit crab” by Craig Arnold; “Elder care” by me (from here www.plantsandpoetry.org/plant-people...) … thanks for all the great pieces you share!

Hermit crab
A drifter, or a permanent house-guest,
he scrabbles through the stones, and can even scale the flaked palm-bark, towing along his latest lodging, a cast-off periwinkle shell.
Isn't he weighed down? Does his house not pinch?
The sea urchin, a distant relative, must haul his spiny armor each slow inch by tooth only - sometimes, it's best to live nowhere, and yet be anywhere at home.
That's the riddle of his weird housekeeping
—does he remember how he wears each welcome out in its turn, and turns himself out creeping unbodied through the sand, grinding and rude, and does he feel a kind of gratitude?
Elder care

Of thirteen cuttings, seven took, 
an auspicious sort of mixed 
success, uncountable clusters 
of berries, an armature
of trees, an orchard for the years 
to come, none of which we'll 
live to see.

She's a street urchin. The gloves have holes & I'm pretty sure they're stolen 😹

A tuxedo kitten sleeps on her back, paws in the air. You can see one of her white gloves has a black spot

Arabeth Lawful good Mountain Dwarf Monk (Way of Shadow). Str: 16 (+3), Dex: 8 (-1), Con: 12 (+1), Wis: 8 (-1), Int: 15 (+2), Cha: 10 (+0). A street urchin who bluntly says what other people are hinting at or hiding.

Found fresh kina in Barcelona, this is the happiest day of my life!!!

Close up of some portions of kina, or sea urchin in English. They’re small and prickly with some juicy delicate flesh in the inside. Garnish with some pieces of lemon.

Patience, patience... a watched urchin never drinks water...

weird and prone to rather unexpected behaviour. And thus a rash action of Mr Earnshaw on one of his journeys kicks off the action. In Liverpool he saw a starving street urchin and simply took it home ("Not a soul knew to whom it belonged, he said, and his money and time, being both limited, he 4/x
