What’s Wrong With This Picture?… by Reese
A front-page story in our local paper quoted a very recent story in the Washington Post newspaper regarding a just-completed survey pertaining to the Washington D.C. area interstate highway system (includes surrounding parts of Virginia/Maryland).It indicates Washington D.C presently has the worst traffic-jams of any major city in this country. That right, D.C. has traffic nightmares that at present exceed the legendary traffic woes of New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Denver. While giving due mention to traffic problems on I-495 (the beltway around Washington), and a couple of interstate feeder-highways in Virginia and Maryland, the article zeroed in on I-95, from its intersection with ...
AS MY WORLD TURNS
"She Cometh in Green"
On the branches of the hardwood trees, the buds do not dare spout.
The trees, in all their nakedness, stand shamelessly about.
Where is the tactless woman, our gift from God above?
Shall the fetus of the season be aborted and unloved?
The inviting lure of longer days and nights with far less chill have so far not awakended life, but soon we know it will.
She nudges every living thing that must now start anew.
The special touch of nature's hand that all life can construe.
The trees have come to realize and trust in what they've seen.
When winter's done and turns his back, she comes to us in green.
