"Pintler Falls"

“Pintler Falls” Water roars down Over the rocks. Mist splashes my face. A good, long hike Has taken us to this beautiful place Where the bears come To quench their thirst. The trees’ roots are jumbled Over the ground. You better not trip, Or you’ll find yourself Headfirst in the boggy mud.

"Moose"

“Moose”

Gangly legs.

Small tufts of hair.

Their ears move

Independent of each other

Thus great hearing.

It turns to look at me.

I snap the picture.

It turns its large head back to the tree

With not a care in the world.

What a peculiar creature.

"Autumn"

"Autumn"
Two faces painted.
One girl.
One boy.
They sit in unison.
Side by side,
The pumpkins lay,
A vivid bright orange
Amongst the hay.
These enchanting smiles
Bring joy to what is fall.
