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 Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
Gone the pewter, snow-billowing sky of stubborn days' duration succumbing finally to a pure and shining blue uninterrupted by clouds, sun ascendant and blazing.
Overhead, crows coast and caw. Woodland trees no longer gaily sporting winter coats; bare now, damply dark and raw. In their
branches, chickadees, nuthatches and drumming downy woodpeckers, aware all, that spring is on the near horizon of timely seasonal arrival.
The snow-packed ground is well littered with brittle branches, tightly-fisted fall leaves and countless twigs teased off their perches by high blowing winds, soughing through the swinging tree tops.
Mild weather and the brilliant sun in concert melt snow new and old, sending rivulets of meltwater resolutely downhill, seeking
release, joining in a great, muddy stream unleashed and madly roiling toward the welcoming river well beyond this landscape.
