Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
First flush of life on the Corkscrew Hazel. Fat, fuzzy promise on the Saucer Magnolia whispering pink glory-to-come. Tulip, Daffodil, Hyacinth bulbs straining from sodden black earth.
The frigid sting of winter finally breached to wash away snow, ice. Song birds burst the air with trills and whorls re-claiming spring nests abandoned last summer.
The language of these rituals tease us through long winter months of frost and cold and despite the brilliance of sun on the snow-glazed landcsape we yearn for green to replace white warmth to nurture our bones.
