Spring's Beholden
In Full Earnest
From my slumber I arise
Drinking dew from blades of grass
Blinking drops off from my eyes
Spring's come here at last
*
Gentle winds caress my ears
Giving my soft kisses
With winter gone, I no longer fear
Of Jack Frost's bites near misses
*
Upon the slope the garden's full
A child of nature's domain
The mother's shaped the land
From her hills and valleys to her plains
*
Upon there I see grizzly bears
Eating moths from out the rocks
Their gluttonous feast of powdered wings
Begins and never stops
*
The rabbits scan the scene
Hopping out of their dens to eat
Upon hearing the wolves breathe
They take up quickly to their feet
*
From Nature's Bounty
To Nature's Harvest
Nature in Spring
Has come in full earnest
*

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
