Aura On the Edge

Out next to the weeping willow
Half-full moon still shines in early morn
Amazingly the glow gets brighter
As the sun on the horizon rises

But the sun earlier was shrouded 
Obscure because of the fog and mist
The birds did not seem to mind at all
Their chirping was very shrill and brisk

The sun rises over the horizon
In a fireball of red- red this day
As the sun appears everything
Seems to speedily move on their way 

The clear light that is on the moon now
Much brighter with a glow that's silver
There's an aura on the very edge
That reveals it is time to go soon

Time for me  to go as well as moon
Duty calls...responsibility
The chores of the day to care for home
To see my families' needs are met

Sara, under the proposed House Bill you would not be able to grow anything in your backyard for your own consumption. I find the idea totally unamerican and am outraged. I enjoy growing veggies and having fruit trees. This is government intrusion at its worst! How will they enforce this if it passes? Will inspectors check out each individual's property? Have we no right to privacy anymore? Sorry, but I get steamed just thinking about it. Love, Carolyn
