gliding rocker
three abreast
found by students
brought to rest
where ecology is taught
shadowing trees
stir my childhood memories
lazy reading days
stretched across scratchy pillows
one toe dangling pushing
creaking metal to and fro
how savory wafting fragrance
grandma’s biscuits and honeysuckle
still my mouth waters so
gliding rocker
brings memories decades old
great egret contrast in black and white
it is black and white and yet you see all the iridescence of the hummer and the lilies
the calyx of the cutleaf groundcherry, Physalis angulata, will ripen into a bright golden lantern that holds the small “cherry” fruit
I sat in the grass, silent, as the tail of the giant water cat appeared, emerging from the mass of Jordan Lake dam.
beauty is oft best seen when each heart supplies the colors
