Green is the color of the steps in shangril-a ,
The hue of peace in a troubled mind ..
The carpet of the valley floor and the rugged-
divide ..
The weeping willows of childhood fantasy
Tall grass bordering the waterway ,
Definitions along the walkways that lead me home ...

Warm coffee and dates on a-
wintry winding , mountain lane , blackberry etchings , trembling firs shroud morning trains , first day lit lanes peek through blue panes ..
Honkers in hollers beside a rumbling 76 beacon gripped-
in the perfume of turned sorghum , rusty brooks beside a -
leaf laden lot , peanuts swirl their delicious dance-
in a cast iron *** ..
Standing at her cue , locked in-
a spiritual , bankside daydream , Marny blue , butterscotch Kathryn-
wintergreen Gert and Sweetgum Zoey weathervanes ..
A cloak and dagger scheme with tall shadows ,
empty pecan trees and vivid bellicose themes ,
foggy hillside scenes , where hope and implausibility -
convene to do battle with todays pipe dreams  ...

We're colorful autumn leaves standing within earshot of-
the Winter wind
Pious , hopeful children of God enveloped in the talons of-
constant sin  
A fawn in the hunting ground of wolves ..
A wild flower at the mercy of the Hereford hooves ..
Ice and clay along the right-of-way ...
The blue morning bowing before the overcast day..

If your vying for change in Gaza you could start by feeding their women and children ...
A nostalgic grandfather headed to Macon
Newlyweds off to a Pensacola vacation
Paying his bills in Palmetto
A trash can on its side in Chattahoochee-
Hills , the remnants of a still on Bear -
Creek , the crackle of naked trees , the
smell of collards and pinto beans , the
plea of beagles , the chatter of the elderly
and the feeble , the music of falling acorns and peppermills ,
the water wheel , the articulation , trill -
and forte of blackbirds circling a newfound
millet meal ..
Wind racked clapboard
Thundering tin
The dread of 'bama thunderheads ,
a coyote sentry in a river bottom bed ..

bourbon wire grass
cedar helicopters returning to earth
cool winter whispers
following the robins ,
the cackle of a crow symphony ,
crumbling January byways ,
timid whitetails , bedded Herefords ,
dove traipsing blue skyways ...
