In style

As we get ready to travel, I have the good fortune to be reading another wonderful garden book: The Wild Braid, a conversation with Stanley Kunitz, poet and gardener. So to set up our trip, here are two of my poems and a picture of why we are ambivalent (somewhat) about leaving. Down the path/ Walking through the woods/ Turtle cove and frog hollow/ The stream rushes by./ Swaying branches/ The underside of leaves/ Create darkness compared/ to those basking in the sun./ That is, until the breeze Lifts and twists and Mines silver in the air. As we walked around the pond, Donna was able to get a picture of Madison while she was picking flowers. Madison is definitely in style.
