An Observation
by Richard L. Provencher

Black kerchiefs hide
foreheads, ladies graceful
at picnic tables

husbands
sharing baskets
of foodstuff
children impatient
for the ritual to end.

Mennonites, natural
in caring one
for another, sisters and
brothers --

Peters proud of little
Anna, hoists
her shoulder-height
smile of pride
from his young eyes

a family plan, Gods
perfection.

Richard L. Provencher

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
