Hannah, over in the Garden asked us to write a poem. She asked us to explore the Prairie and Steppe area. I chose the Prairie Warbler. I was thinking of the families in Newtown, CT. I went to You Tube and found this video. I was surprised it was from Connecticut. My heart n' prayers go out to all , who have lost their hope n' joy today~ It is so sad-I haven't stopped watching the news, since I heard...
Wrapped in yellow sunshine
against a blue quilted sky
love songs echo in
the wind
blue stars peer
through scattered red cedars
musical tweets
grace of golden wings
radiant
among thimblefuls
of dandelions
aligned with pure
squeezed sunshine
in Tangelo dreams
the earth is
fertile
my yellowish green cap
protects my dark eyes
I linger in the
overgrown fields rather
than the prairies
wishing
for what life
offered
yesterday!

And such a horrible tragedy.
This song is so bitter-sweet given recent events.
