forest breathe untainted air by city musk while embers of spring leaves lighten the gathering dusk the seasons here are as unsuspecting spirits hiding o'er the easement it may be fair but over here it’s crying plotting and conspiring behind the shed or barn making some sort a devious plan in our back yard taut, we listened for zephyr’s salient westward signal no matter the time of dusk the emotions never dismal in a bliss of fear, suspense and anticipation we waited listening—ever listening, we knew the wind was jaded stars had begun to glitter in the long evens horizon frogs sounded like a bass fiddle section tightening bows across the ravines shallow aqua theater when all at once the conductor soaked the weather pouring liquid music into the audience of pines while a slow freight train whistled down the line and our lonely dog hollowed as if with care drinking in great draughts of the nights moist air never understanding the delicious anxious peril while it dimmed in the distance and we calmed our shuddering wondering of tomorrow I guess I could have been seven Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. |

Hi Dale At seven you couldn't have made such delicious rhyme, or could you? What a beautiful poem! Good to see you, my friend! |

 Just makes me want to visit Alberta more. (and I am, at the end of this month!) Nice shuddering storm there. |

Hi Martie, it's always good to hear you too. Been terribly busy. Spring you know. Dear ate all Rosemary's (80 some) tulips. Thanks again. bsquirrel, thanks, but I'm not in Alberta anymore. I guess I should change that to Idaho's pan-handle. |
