BABCOCK LAKE, a poem by Patricia Crandall

There is no need to proclaim her scintillating presence.   The air about her is delightfully pure.   She dresses fashionably in shades of blue.   Her movements are graceful as she flows down wind past stately pines and leaning birch trees,   lapping boats anchor to weathered docks.

NATURE'S WAY (a poem)

NATURE’S WAY
by
Patricia Crandall

Waterfalls cascading
over sharp, jutting rocks.
Angry rivers rising
in a storm.
Oceans

Petals
unfolding in a summer breeze.
Bees
droning by angry swarms.
Trees
bearing pale – pink blossoms
and ripening fruit.
Creatures
burrowing tawny noses into earth.

LILY OF THE VALLEY - a poem

 

LILY OF THE VALLEY

 

 A glorious convallaria scent

did not

luxuriate beneath the shade

of trees in my garden

when I was a child.

Admiration from afar

I gave

to another's well cared plot.

The perfume drove me wild

when I was a child.

Now I am happy

to plant crowns

in my garden

at this age

I am ...
