Historical horror & remade myth.
The woods remember what God forgets.
The sermon never ends.

Always see what's around the bend.
Always press on until the end.
Then explore beyond, if you can.

Cleaned up the #poem I wrote yesterday. Here's the edited version of "Less Vivid."

#EastCoastKin #Poetry #ArtShow #WritingCommunity #creativewriting #booksky #poetrysky
Less Vivid Time’s an eraser and life is just paper. Slowly, it scratches you away, leaving pink shavings where your vivid details used to be. I wish that I recorded your shrinking voice. Your noises are fading. Your laughter has faded. Your stories are fading from me. You are barely a visitor in my dreams. I wonder where you are, and why you chose to go. And where can we meet when I leave? Now most of your picture is gone, and I can’t always remember to miss you. But sometimes I do, and it hurts so bad to forget you.

It's #scape day! Here is a #landscape #poem about Spring springing (although my yard is covered in snow right now 🤮) This is "Forsythias"

#EastCoastKin #poetry #writingcommunity #creativewriting #booksky #poetrysky #newengland #spring
Forsythias Alone in the woods, as many good days begin, I greet the newborn Spring. I’m flanked by tonal pinks with white flowers overhead and underfoot, bloomed anew. The buttery sunrise softens upward, melting through the golden forsythias— baking a salubrious feast for me as I pause in this fresh, forest kitchen. Descending warmth rolls down my tired bones, and I drift into youthful reverie— a boy standing before Mother’s oven, dreaming of morning blueberry muffins. Myriad miles from her and years from then, I am at peace and at home in these hills. Life’s brown to green, to gold, to brown again sows seasonal sentimentality. I tarry in the present’s joie de vivre and linger longer in the petaled trees.
