In Praise of Oddities

In the midst of evergreens, The deciduous counts the days to spring; Perhaps it has forgotten, Desolation has its own attraction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10 / 11 / 2016

7.) Tamal, great poem, great theme. : ) Let us ever remember those evergreens - in winter they have a better view.

Exploration of contrasts, not necessarily opposites. Each has its own flavor. Congrats, Tamal!

Yes. :) To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, "But all sorts of things and weather / Must be taken in together / To make up a year / And a sphere." Thanks, Kim.
