Thank you Lori,

Sometimes, beauty takes a little longer to create but it is always there, inside!

With summer approaching, it is a little more difficult to take these strolls through the woods due to the incessant
buzz of mosquitoes and the stifling heat and humidity which are a part and parcel of life in SE Louisiana.

Glad you enjoyed.

Larry

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Although rain was not really a factor, I am trying to quit!


Quitting

I haven’t had a smoke since late last night
because I’m camping out here in the rain
and they got wet. They’re very hard to light

so I tried drying them. The hilltop lane
had now become a creek and rain still beat
upon my tent. I really can’t explain

how water rushing in had soaked my feet
and in frustration, I began to cry.
I might as well throw them into the street

for truth be known I can’t just say good-bye
when this bad habit has surpassed its height
and they no longer help me reach the sky.

Rain forcing my decision must be right
when it’s propitiousness was sent last night.


Thank you Bob!

Larry
