Unfinished poem
Three great evils I have seen today, Four things that should not be: A green branch that withers while the old endures, A river that fades ere it meets the sea, A promised rain that never falls, And a father … Continue reading
Weighing the merits of conventional and organic gardening

An unfinished lament
So I’m sitting here late at night in front of my iMac, thinking about the recent visit my parents paid us, and I guess the chief emotion I have about that particular debacle is regret. My folks came here for … Continue reading
Legacy (unfinished poem)
