Harbingers of Spring

Persimmons...

...and kiwis ripen in Winter.
Ode to Citrus

On a Winter day
Rain pours from the roof
The sky is cloudy gray.

The garden is bare
Tomatos withered
Nothing left to share.

But in back I find
Round globes fuzzy brown
On the kiwi vine.

In the corner I see
A bright yellow ball
On the lemon tree.

An orange tangerine
Hanging from a branch
Among leaves bright green.

Down the street I see
Bright orange persimmons
On the neighbor's tree. 

It's as if the sun
Has emerged to say
Winter is almost done. 

​-MW
Let Be!

Let pass what can no longer be,
Let die what has run its course,
Let go what is spent!
Nothing is here to stay
All changes from day to day,
Let go what is gone!

-JM



An epigram a day:

​Life is a blending of the actual and of dream.
Neither should be neglected.

To think too much is to know too little.

Poetic fruits are customarily rooted in existential discontent. 

Art and thought counter personal blight and existential agony.

​You are what you believe the world to be.

To emote is to be alive, to reflect is to survive. 

​Feeling provide thrust and thought gives direction.

​We treasure what we have lost or have never had. 


​-JM

Piccolisms:


Wet lawns do not make good toilets. Dry indoor lawns are preferable.
