raccoon, skunk, porcupine

was the original owner (and the legendary “little ol lady”, having babied it
and rarely took it over 61 mph!) I never had reason to take it “off-roading” —
except for the dirt roads that can be seen in some of the photos. Often
went on state forest dirt roads for TrailCares (hiking trail
maintenance).

No War No More, a collection of poems, essays, photos and artwork for peace, had finally been published. Doug Fowler, Diana Ludwig and Arya Jenkins worked on this project for some time. Thanks to Doug’s fastidiousness and Diana’s talents with layout, this project finally came to fruition. NWNM contains work by Doug, Diana, and Arya, as well as Pauline Beck, Donna Brennan, J. D. Curtis, Jim Jordan, Staughton Lynd, Tenzin Palmo, Richard Pirko, Teresa Saska and Bob Studzinski.
Proceeds from sales of the book will benefit the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery Project in northern India. The nunnery, which was started by Tenzin Palmo, educates nuns in the Kagyu lineage. Some of those nuns will return to their communities as counselors and teachers. More information about Tenzin Palmo’s project can be found at www.tenzinpalmo.com

Katy-dids rasping noisy across from the cemetary in the cool, foxes howl for hours from gravel stoops in front of their burrows, barn owls screech into the window from their tree perches…half dozen young coon romp about the legs of deer meandering in the fog, crows call, 2 bronze turkey heads sinking down to the river through the rhodadendron, a red sedan in flames on the hairpin turn to Fischer, a pair of spotted fawns with their mom along the interstate.

There is a really neat collection of short stories by some creative Youngstown, Ohio writers out now that can be
checked out at: WNWG Presents Collection of Short Stories on Amazon.
All their exploits can be delved into at their literary station: WNWG Wednesday Night Writing Group
Their publisher has a page for it also: WNWG Presents book
I just got done being highly entertained by one of the authors ( Ms. Koocher) stories (both fiction and non-fiction) at
her web-house: Mad Moonlit Musings of a Zombie Huntress
A preview of the illustrations can be viewed at Storm Bird Studios

He found a pea in his pocket, in the pocket of his shirt
Prince’s pine, prince in the pines
The schools were closed because of sickness
A dried leaf of mint , remaining scent of summer visitors tossing back their whiskeys among the furniture
Down the dark hollow through the snowy cold, winter train flings –squeals shapes shidft something somewthig —past at the bottom of the hollow at the end of the winter fhollow lies Spring
In the light of the sewage house where the sewage lives
Thast we have sent
That we have all sent
White cat runs between our cars on the backstreet in the wintery cold in the dark
The white cat between us
Giant wings going down the road –or props of a windmill blades –or thw ings of an angel so big
A man points out that Security is a a type of Theartre now. It is all about feeling, I t is a kabuki dance
Mary must mourne molly
Threee Little birds are at the door to my park
Sitting for s;plit seconds , flinking about and away
A chickadee, a blue-grey nuthatch, a reddish wren –winter wren in the winter?
Tired a little from shoveling snow, hands burnt from photos in the snowy river banks
The snow winds roar down up the thru our river valley the cabins hear them coming ang crouch before them
Then there is a blurry sea of driftiign snow, a watery thingee to float thru
Out and across the lot of the post office, now we know what the moaning scxhreeching sound was, it ti s the scream of the wind thru things, car partdss, lite poles electric wires, joined by church bells tolling and overhead roil rolling glittery swarms of stars
Clear cold cacaphony
Feb 4 Considering the Fourth Pair of sox
Rattle and thump at the front door but its only the wind
loud osund of clear air over the wings of the C-130 low overhead
Thick Towel against the window blow
3 below lullaby tea
(“ask a stranger why I’m waiting in the chamber of a gun” “ I’d like to be tha b ig black bird sitting in ypoonder tree….I wish Iw was that river rolling on cdown to the sea, I wish I was that cold hard stone” and other songs of ravens)
Cold knees predictions of doom
