Peter a farmer from Scrubby Creek,
Seldom washed his great big feet,
His fed up wife would complain
About the odorous strain
When in summer it reached its peek.
Mountaintops
Mountaintops –
Barren rocks,
Scrubby brush,
Nothing grows there.
Valley view –
From mountaintop,
Lush, green growth,
Teeming life.
People can’t grow on a mountaintop.
We grow in the valleys of life.
People can’t stay on a mountaintop.
We return to toil and to strife.
Form:
Winter’s bite
is in the air tonight
and the moon is risen overhead
casting shadows like the witches have aforesaid,
but old folktales will not warm my bones nor sweetbread
will provide, I’ll make my bed beneath
the stars and scrubby heath,
then shall sleep.
while hills taunt us with scrubby tufts of green
the long fingers of the sun
stroke the horizon
a jet splits the sky with a cloudy tail
rattling the window's glass
and my reflection

Some see a scrubby, stunted wood;
the pure heart sees a pond.
A vision cast into the could -
the gift to look beyond…
And though the plan has not converged
quite fully in my head,
I simply can’t resist the urge
to rend, uproot, and shred.
Reclaiming bits of Eden, I
clear out the brambled vines.
Creation and destruction, by
this, briefly are aligned.
