Winding road

Winding road

There is a winding road. Winding along the forest.

Winding from here to there. A winding to the unknown.

From past time winding history. Till today’s winding reality.

News winding way to milk pallet. Mailman winding a letter down the box.

Wireless connection, pling in phone. Countryside winding down.

Know the past to dare explore, ha de Gött!

100% Autumn

100% Autumn

Colorful thick for winter cold days.

Soft rustling, smelling of chilly fresh October rain.

Still wind quilts autumn cover for Mother Earth.

King Frost wait around the bend.

Keep warm, hug your loved ones, ha de Gött!

Juniper leaf

Juniper leaf

Just resting on the way down. Even the sharpest juniper spikes offers a resting place. Waiting for that gust, that gust of wind for the final journey.

Have a lovely weekend, ha de Gött!

The Red Tractor

The Red Tractor

along meadows and fields
pulling
cutting deep in rich soil
plowing

sturdy and strong the red tractor

seagulls land like snowflakes
feast
new over old fade to brown
turning

Promted by a comment from John Malone to my tractor post. In relation to ‘William Carlos Williams’ poem ‘The Red Wheelbarrow’ I made this humble attempt to a ‘red tractor poem’.

What red things do you like to have a poem written to? Ha de Gött!

Door handle

Door handle

Handle never pressed

to friendly welcome open
slammed shut in anger
opened gently to say sorry 

Handle never pressed

slowly, by tiny children's hands, night before Christmas
to lock teenager out after first taste of freedom 
to squeak after boys night out 

Verdigris green and rusted, left out under the blue sky 

Not a single time open, but never ever closed

Found this handle at the house never built that I wrote of a year ago, find it here.

Handle life with care, ha de Gött!

Near and Far

Near and Far

So mysterious it sits there in the night sky. Sunbathing, casting just a glimpse of light in the dark. So near, so far.

Poetry, songs, stories, horror, hope, longing, envy. Mind provoking since ancient times. Guiding travelers across land and sea, a friend.

Like a cheese full of holes. Knocked about and bombarded by the universe. Hide and seek in twenty eight day cycles.

Howl at the moon, it’s good for you (but not for the neighbors), ha de Gött!

Bolted

Bolted

Through the eye of the needle. What can you see.

Through the eye of the needle. What will fit.

Through the eye of the needle. What will thread.

Through the eye of the needle. What’s on the other side

Through the eye of the needle. Camel or man.

Sometimes better not knowing, ha de Gött!

Pine needle

Pine needle

On the lichen covered rock it waits

Waits to be tossed by the wind

become once again part of the soft soil

Carried away by an ant

Winter anthill shelter building lock

become once again part of the soft soil.

But, be careful where you place it, ha de Gött!
