All through the valley once wandered cool water curving a clear course winding its way between hills before drought came, goats grazed. Now all lies silent slumbering in desert heat shimmering golden. Hot winds like hands lift the dust tos

October, breathing fire returns; sweeping the contours of the hills until the shrouded wood exhales into brittle phantom lines. The starlings are back. They amass the giants; these ancients oaks that line my street, making huge reckless

Late New England Summer
A stiffenning breeze rolls out steady over the hills of these green mountains....shaking the now brittle aging leaves which drop to the ground one by one.....

Pear Tree Haiku for fjames Picture Uploaded
IF YOU GO AND CLICK ON POST A COMMENT the whole tree shows up its awesome.. My little pear tree.. I was just mowing my grass.( 3 acres) I notices my little pear tree. its only 4 feet tall 4 inches at the base 2 lonely branches coming off the base and little twigs coming off that the the branches are like 2 inches around at the most.. I almost cut it down a few years back because i was sure it was dead.. I just didn't have the heart.. It is so loaded with pears at least 50 that is bent completely over touching the ground.. I have been so overwhelmed with my own grief and locked inside my depression I never noticed or I would have found a wedge for the 2 lonely branches.. Nature never ceases to amaze me.
