The discarded palm

Now the size of the mop
That Mickey raised
As the Sorcerer's Apprentice
Must smaller than the broom
Leaning by the fireplace
That Cinderella used...

Long arms reaching outward, upward

https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2022/06/long-arms-reaching-outward-upward.html

I took a picture this morning of the southern pine trees

on Whisper Creek Boulevard

here in our complex;

I was brought back to a conversation in 2004ish with

Rev. Orin Watson at Wesley United Methodist Church,

In which I talked about my writing poetry,

after one of the bible studies he had lead.

He commented that, “anyone can write a poem about a tree”;

but that as a Christian poet, I should seek to convey something

about God in the poem…,

So here you go Rev. Watson…
