Premium Member Ode to the Largest Lakes of Maine
Moosehead, mother of Maine’s many lakes fed by Moose River’s flowing tears. Overlooked by Kineo’s cliffs, with Kennebec you share your gifts. Sebago Lake, your bowels deep with waters fresh, quench Portland’s thirst. Headwater for Presumpscot’s course which for many towns was a life source. Chesuncook Lake, you are the source of hydropower’s natural force and from your bounteous water store you serve when...

Premium Member Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor Bah Habah is how they say it in Maine. The cool summer breezes wash over the town. Sailboats ride at rest waiting patiently at their moorings. Lobstah fishermen load their traps, hoping for a prize haul. Ospreys and seals vie for the best fish. Acadia National Park beckons bikers and hikers. Icy waters from the Labrador Current will chill...

I watch as he bounces up and down on the plow hitch The bells on his mighty Percherons jingling with each practiced step As they perform their timeworn...

Together, On a Carriage Road
Two who are one together in love, On a carriage road in the woods of Maine. The day was filled with sunshine, The air was cool and sweet. It was a fine, wondrous spring day in Maine, On an old carriage road That wound through the woods of Acadia in the shadow of Cadillac, As strong and enduring as the love of...
