Corey D. Cook I. The horses huddle in the snowy, wind-swept pasture as I make my way to the barn, trot in together when the door squeals open, only willing to part for buckets of grain and flakes of hay. I turn off the light and walk back to the house, hat pulled down, shoulders … Continue reading Stalls
A Ripple in Still Water
By Mike Turner A ripple in still water Steals ‘cross the mirror’d pool Stirred by a breath-like zephyr The languid air to cool Golden sunlight dappling Through foliage high in trees We lay in rustling grasses To gently take our ease Our lips so gently brushing In tender moment’s kiss Warm in our joint embraces … Continue reading A Ripple in Still Water
