The Gathering - A Poem
The Gathering
Perhaps they expect a pool
offerings of rare coffee
from Ethiopia
Instead of
a view of hydrangea
plus pale ale in mugs
Conversation entails
irrelevant niceties
of trivial events
Smiles exchanged
chairs rearranged
subtlety reigns
Another chance
to touch humanity
willfully aborted

Woodpecker photo from Cades Cove
No, that is not a redheaded woodpecker but a pileated woodpecker.
Pileated Woodpecker, photographed in Cades Cove (recently)
Sorry not a very good picture, but I feel lucky to have gotten it. My first sighting of one. Click the link above for more info.

Purple Columbine
This perennial is new to our plots. It is native and rather hardy.
Purple* grows
on me
Each new day
My other columbine are more of a reddish-pink with early blossoms that are now fading for this season.

How Much Do You Love Me?
One can measure love
All you have to do is count
Stars on a clear night
True
