We had a
wonderful Thanksgiving with my family here in New England. During
dinner, my father told us that he had some poems that he had written.
He promised to email them today, which he just did. So, of course, I am
proudly showcasing one of his poems.
Autumn

Fall
begins when nature creates a piebald
canvas
across the contours of the land.
Emboldened
by crisp, cool nights
and raven skies that are studded with diamonds,
she daubs and strokes and lays her paint
With a glance up you can see bounteous swarms of V’s
Silhouetted ; sweeping silently and swiftly
and available for your introspection.
Soon the wind chills your senses more and more
and your multicolored landscape becomes
a somber brown and grey.
But don’t be dispirited my dear friend
For if you look skyward at a tree
you will see an intricate latticework
in a resplendent and stunning symmetry
and soon she will dip her brush in white
and again satisfy your need for beauty

For those who follow the strange news, here is one from Orlando, FL...A
true story...
A note from Michelle...
It doesn't get sadder than this folks....This holiday weekend, a man in
Orlando Fl, who cut in line at a local Walmart, was wrestled to the
ground by the crowd. Unless they were actually selling time in a bottle
or water from the fountain of youth this seems a little intense for me.
If you just can't live without that $300.00 laptop, you have a bigger
problem at hand.
