Oh how I love the little white violets, as if a PEARL necklace had broken apart and scattered all across the lawn! Just visible next to one PLANT, completely hidden by another. To add to the enchantment of the moment, a chipmunk emerges from under the woodpile, hops onto a PLANK of lumber, discarded from some long forgotten project, surveying the riches before him. I savor the moment, this world rich with life and beauty 

Georg’ann

TIRED has become the default
Physically, emotionally
Though spiritually still thriving
functions like strong coffee,
a predictable pleasure
that awakens the senses.
Perhaps a SHACK would suit, to live like Thoreau
Fill BLANK pages with careful noticing
to a soundtrack of birdsong and crickets, winds rustling, fires crackling.
Keeping my body strong
without need for contrivances like holding a PLANK
Each day the form unfurling
strengthening and lengthening raises to the sun, then curls
around itself under the moon
