The blackbird takes off from his perch on
this lone pine in the dairy pasture, winging towards the
sky with all his might but
the pine is pugnacious and bitter, sweltering in winter. Before he
travels a league from her she drops him dead from the sky, victim of some

Deep within the wooded thick of a coniferous forest's vascular limbs,
A chorus of loons cry in mosaic croons which echo from where they swim.

They swim in a lake, the sixth of eight; a link in a mountain chain,
Forged by the damming of rivers filled by the gathering of rain.

The green of jade stones.
The green of coniferous trees.
I love the color green,
Because it reminds me of you....

The other, Mother Nature
A lovely scene along the hills
Was better than portraiture

The gentle breeze juxtaposed against 
The needle pinaceae
But with their sheer beauty alone 
Would make one want to stay
