On 03.30.13 By Lea
Easter by Joyce Kilmer The air is like a butterfly With frail blue wings. The happy earth looks at the sky And sings. Easter Day by Oscar Wilde The silver trumpets rang across the Dome: The people knelt upon the ground with awe: And borne upon the necks of men I saw, Like some great [...]

Birthday Blessings and Lilacs

On 05.11.12 By Lea
Today is my birthday so I hope you will excuse me if I take a few minutes to revel in my blessings. Some years my birthday actually falls on the same day as Mother’s Day. Minimally, both big days are always around the same time each year. It’s a double whammy of sweet gifts and [...]

Dose of Beauty – Solitude

On 03.05.12 By Lea
“Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone….”  The poem “Solitude” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (below in its entirety) is a powerful exploration of an undeniable reality of human nature. There is a natural desire to seek out that which exudes happiness and cheer and to avoid pain and darkness. It extends [...]

A Walk in the Changing Scarf of Mist

On 01.30.12 By Lea
The snow came. Later, when the air warmed, it melted the snow, turning it into a thick mist that blanketed the landscape. Breathing in the saturated air I noticed how the journey of thoughts can be very different on a foggy day. Not sad, merely reflective. Pearl Fog by Carl Sandburg Open the door now. [...]

November would not be complete without this poem. MY NOVEMBER GUEST By ROBERT FROST My Sorrow, when she’s here with me, Thinks these dark days of autumn rain Are beautiful as days can be; She loves the bare, the withered tree; She walked the sodden pasture lane. Her pleasure will not let me stay. She [...]

Autumn By HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW Thou comest, Autumn, heralded by the rain, With banners, by great gales incessant fanned, Brighter than brightest silks of Samarcand, And stately oxen harnessed to thy wain! Thou standest, like imperial Charlemagne, Upon thy bridge of gold; thy royal hand Outstretched with benedictions o’er the land, Blessing the farms through [...]

Autumn Berries

Dose of Beauty

On 10.29.11 By Lea
The Tree of Scarlet Berries by AMY LOWELL The rain gullies the garden paths And tinkles on the broad sides of grass blades. A tree, at the end of my arm, is hazy with mist. Even so, I can see that it has red berries, A scarlet fruit, Filmed over with moisture. It seems as [...]

On 10.19.11 By Lea
Sweet Pea enjoys his after-school tea time and a poem. A love of poetry is developed at a young age. Have you ever noticed most of the time when someone references a poem it is one they learned in school?  Sitting down and reading a book of poetry just for the joy of it is [...]
