Reflections on a Rake -- poem
by Richard L. Provencher Autumn leaves are curled-up edges wrapped in calico, and prey to a rasp of tines scraping across the green of leftover lawn. Footfalls from children herald their launch as they tamp down a pile of collected leaves laughing and wrestling in the last of summer innocence -- adults barbecuing burgers with friends inclined to visit, and chattering in every direction. Musing during his rest thoughts gather in patterns, shifts one foot to another dear one calling lunch another sweep should complete morning's task and he does with a burst of finality. 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. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
