White Aspen
ravenous vultures roam cheek by jowl battle lanes prolonged Wrestle the weasel in the tall grass Laura dances her hips throng Lost paradise where did it go ? We are born through golden forests I will be as silent as a grave The Son of Pan appears in heavy guise, beneath the pond he hears foremost of our melancholy at a white aspen we chant...

Premium Member Aspen Leaves
Designed sapphires - I would fondly call them, In red, yellow and variety green; In shapes round, oval, heart-like diadem, With white-red blood-vessels, tenderly seen; Like rings and ear-rings of a charming queen, Midst floors of forests blazing with sun-rays, Like ballet dancers, in bright garbs you glaze; Marveling at your mellow model-mode, Not blinking their eyes wild birds and beasts gaze; Breeze into...

in Pando's shadow a young maiden sings wander'd to and fro peat bog feet sloshing auburn locks adorned in daisy crowned rings quite unaware that something was watching one with thick skinned carion heart at core to scavenge Middlemist's red camellia he too delivered from far away shores a renaissance ratel in rebellion Leila leisured in shade of quaking aspen trees treacle honey...

All together groups are falling Once to join upon the ground Day of reckoning concerning None recalls the former crown Suddenly we change forever Band together all agreed At once to jump the tree We join the earth delirious A season like a day from slumber Another generation numbered Greater purpose growing skyward Sleeping Aspen marks a ring September 8, 2019...

The Devil Came To Aspen, Part Ii
...The devil didn’t hide, he strutted right out, a smile painted on his red face. “Why my dear sheriff, how in the world Did you ever find my new place?” Abner stared on, seething with hate. “An old friend told me to find you here,” He explained, glancing up to the sky. “You know why I’m here, you son-of-a-*****. You made those poor...

The Devil Came To Aspen, Part I
In eighteen hundred ninety-three, back in those silver-mining days, a figure walked into Aspen town, and it was the devil they say, come looking for new souls to take. He didn’t look like you would think, the first time he appeared. He was dressed like any old cow-poke, and spend hours in saloons drinking beer, a rough figure, but not much to fear. They say...

Into a thick stand of autumn's golden aspen I flee Dark eyes in ghostly bark faces seem to follow me Wind whispering through the yellow leaves decree, "Rest, child. We offer you safety and tranquility." What voice speaks in this mysterious forest.. a tree? If I have gone insane, I shall drown myself in the sea. "No, little one. Insanity in...

Premium Member Quaking Aspen
We are the high altitude sentinels. Our small groves freckle the high plains. We keep to ourselves, mostly upon the snow burdened peaks where our ashen trunks blend and our barren branches cling to icy white glitter. As the breath of winter ebbs we watch the crystal spring run-off growing ever greener with envy of how it races down the hill; babbling. We whisper this...
