Talking Sticks

the insects path
tell
the woodland’s story

Sitting By The Fountain

listening to the water
share the story of
refreshment

Alice’s Other Adventure

garden wonderland
falling up
the foxglove

Trilogy

three
installments of
the pumpkin’s tale

Raconteur

the story
twice told
self and shadow

Earth’s Wrinkles

water is the earth’s skin
wrinkled by the cold
marks and ridges telling time
the oldest story ever told

Written

time and weather
write the story
of survival on the structure

Fortitude

With only its curvature telling its story
a tree rights itself against unseen forces.

Wisdom

The gnarled tree
holds the history and tells the story
of the woods.

Listen closely.
