Just a little trip up and over the Smokey Mountains to Tennessee and back made more beautiful by snow and ice on the trees and bushes, but not the roads.
THE POETIC JOURNEY
"A poem is a complex matter of sounds and rhythms, meanings nuanced and plain, the ordinary and the unexplained juxtaposed, all put together in such a way as to involve us as participants in life, more life, real life." (Eugene Peterson) Welcome to my poetic journey. Life is short and God is good! Receive. Explore. Enjoy!

Over the Mountains
Just a little trip up and over the Smokey Mountains to Tennessee and back made more beautiful by snow and ice on the trees and bushes, but not the roads.
Christmas Cat
Our cat Frances has grandiose imaginings of a life
lived outside the house, an adventurous life
out in the wild kingdom
with flaura and fauna...
| ...so when it was time to bring in the outside Christmas decorations, Frances was right in her wild kingdom element... |
| ...she peeked and poked and played with all the greenery and ribbons... |
| ... the end ... |

WORKING HARD
And I bet you thought that camping was all fun
and games and just relaxing around the campfire.
Well just look at this photo of me working hard
on a poem for my next collection of poetry called
"Beach Dogs."
| Actually you really need a lot of mental space to allow the words to swim around and settle somewhere pleasant . . . . . . which is what camping is truly all about! |

FRANCES CAMPER CAT
After many months of indecision
I decided to take Frances with us
on a 2 1/2 hour trip to a campsite
on Lake Wateree.
| Frances fussed and cried for the first 2 hours. Once inside the camper, she hid in a ball behind bed pillows. |
| The second day she emerged with her best friend pig. |
| From there on all was good and she was queen of all she saw and enjoyed a pleasant uneventful ride home. |
