Spring: A Year In Verse

March Winds (Night Wind)

March winds

Blowing away the doleful debris of winter

Sweeping away the dreary clouds,

Blocking the needlepoint lights

Sweeping away the dusty veil,

Till we see clearly the one star

Risen in light no sepulcher can contain!

April Showers (Color Storm)

April showers,

Rinsing away the reluctant remains of winter

Cleansing mother earth

That she may give birth

To the multifarious foliage

Of the Master Gardener!

May Flowers

May flowers

Splotching the green clad canvas meadows

Brushing the coarse soft backdrop

With perfect pastel accents

Painting a smile on earth

With the merry palette

Of the Master Painter!

Chronicles of Me: Let The River Wash Me, and the Stories Behind It!

Chronicles Of Me The Story Behind Let That River Wash Me To The Gulf Of Mexico There is a story here and I think it is pretty clear and doesn't need explanation, but I want to add some other dimensions to the tale. First, it is true. Second, it is an amalgamation of two experiences, one with my father and the other with my daughter. My father had several heart attacks and other health issues but still lived alone in the manner he chose. A few months before his passing, I stopped by his place and asked him a question: “What was your first childhood memory?” That led to some pretty great stories! It turns out that we had a lot of shared memories which were a generation separated, and of things that neither of us was aware that the other knew. Just one example: There was a huge mulberry tree on a sandbar in the middle of the creek from which we both feasted, divided by 20 years. There were lots of others, and it was at that time that he told me that he had made pl...

Chronicles Of Me: I Just Want Water!

Setting, Camping Out: I found a bean can, about a quart size that we had had for our dinner rinsed it out, and filled it with water on the campfire we had cooked dinner on. I watched it until it boiled for about 15 minutes on the fire and then moved it to my canteen. I restarted the whole process and did the same 3 times until both my canteens were full along with the bean can. I kept myself awake a few hours until the first batch was cool enough to drink, refilled, and finally went to sleep! The others were content to drink colas and sodas, but I had to have water! This happened several times in my life. When we came back from the fields sometimes Dad would stop at the station and ask if we wanted a cold drink. All I wanted was water. Dad said, just get a coke, someday soon they will figure out how to charge us for water!
