Sheathed by freezing rain
pine boughs kiss the earth
until with resounding crack
death snuffs life,
vital sap oozing onto ground.

Bob Nixon: I’m a retiree who lives at Meadow Glenn, our rural residential home near Clarksville in the piedmont region of Maryland. I love gardening with emphasis on veggies and perennial flowers, and I’m gradually reforesting parts of our lot with native trees. And while I’m gardening or mowing or just walking about, I sometimes reflect on life and what’s happening beyond Meadow Glenn.
