WINTER
in
anger-
whips up the waves,
pounds the shingle
shore
SPRING
in
action-
brings to life
and feathers its
nest
SUMMER

lazy-
rests the soul
and flowers the
land
AUTUMN
so
mellow-
scents and sounds
in the harvest

Old Farmer’s Almanac -
Goes on sale 9/8/16


Sitting, witch like,
around a cast iron stove
wood crackling
as they confer…

waving its tricolour.
Hopes were a...

the almanac appeared most freshly laid.
It's cover divulged the service it had seen,
It's yellowish pages being dog eared and frayed.

By the second book, my eye was quickly caught,
being un-mistakenly, the pristine...

There's a story to be told,
    That even Hollywood shared in part.
Showing entertainment by its fiction,
    Could drown the mind and fill the heart.

Historically, great showmen of the day,
    Would sculpt their molds with fantasy.

The evening stars were gone, replaced
by a spreading, ominous purple bruise of cloud.
When the wind rose, in sudden violent
crisscrossing gusts, everything went into motion.

White cabanas shook, like staked swans
flapping to fly, lavender bushes thrashed
their thorny arms as if in panic, umbrella pines
