Tall and Bold
BY JERRY GLASSMAN
There was a tree that grew tall and bold And became a magical tree where stories are told The sound of the tree is a language all its own And only magical beings can understand its tone Right from the start as you can see Love is the language of the wonderful tree The tree speaks in a magical way So that everyone listening will feel its love today It's not so hard as you will see To find your own magical tree Get outside and walk around Pick a tree that grew tall and bold That's the one where the stories are told Gather your friends and sit under the tree Your troubles will leave, and you will be free Now, low and behold, You're ready to listen to a story told.
The Hammock
BY KELLY FORT PORTER
We swayed back and forth Against the backdrop of the Atlantic’s Lemonade sky, And my soul took a nosedive Into the emerald waters of your eyes— Pools of promise. My heart swam in their expressions of adventure.
(burnt-umber bled into the blue-gray skyline of my consciousness)
Yes, long ago we soared Against the backdrop of the Atlantic’s Lemonade sky— Just you and me.
