| Blackberry Sassafras and Silliness
by measuresup at 7/24/2009 4:51:01 PM
Often I ride the trails in search of the marker
The rod set splitting off the earth each to all
Lines across the planet from marker to marker
Why maybe if it’s ok we should build a mall
I look across the ridge towards the town
And wonder at the way it creeps out to me
When I spy the turkey clutch and frown
Where o where will the hen and kin find to be
On other days I ride the trails in search of me
And I find blackberries ripe and firm to bite
Sassafras again the bank for my evening tea
And good company together to share the sight
What mother earth needs is much less sprawl
Maybe we can hold off on the hillside mall
Perhaps we can slow just a mite the crawl
Of the urban blight seeping towards you all!
