Poetry is Power: The reminder of the wind

Wind blows through the trees,

The leafless branches sway,

As chickadees fly over to them,

Flapping their little wings using the winds.

 

Wind blows the snow,

Across frozen lakes,

The ice clear as glass,

Little snowflakes sparkling,

As the wind blows them further.

 

Wind blows kindness everywhere,

It is here to help,

From person to person,

Animal to animal,

The wind blows kindness,

As a little reminder.

 

The wind tells us that, 

It is important to spread love,

It is important to spread joy,

Listen to the wind’s little reminders,

Spread kindness everywhere every day.

I know it was second grade because I remember the classroom. And I know what teacher was involved because I never forgot her or the moment I’m about to highlight. The year was 1974. I don’t have many memories from that stage of my life, but the following was poignant enough to have possibly set…

Celestial creature: Indigo bunting

June 4, 2025
There is nothing like the royal blue of an indigo bunting. In the Northeast, they arrive fashionably late to the spring fling, behind the vanguard of migrating warblers and other songbirds. On my morning walk in my frequent birding spot – my “patch,” as birders call it –I heard the sharp double-noted tune: “Look! Look!…
