Land Is a Loom

In this modern age, voices rise anew.
What themes thrive, Margaret, in works like you?

Deathbeds In the Desert -
The sand is stained red
with our bygone blood,
the blood that brought us from Ararat to the Alti,
a tribe trekking intrepidly through the Eurasian terrain,
caravans of Caucasians clad with Celtic tartan twills

From thaw to frost activity prevailed,
And change came often, often coming fast,
Till finalizing Fall all toil curtailed.

Purpose
By Sy Roth
Woke this morning to a sodden sky
Stretched to the limit of my arms
And could hear the crack of my back and the crick in my neck
To bespeak an existence.
I think.

Of the gilded sports

Long, long ago in a long-forgotten England,
And in later years he came to...

Life Is But a Season

Seedlings burst from beneath the ground
Anxious to begin their yearly fling
Migrating friends find their mates
While tree tops fill with birds of song
Winter’s rage...
