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 Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
The wide, blue lid of the world blazes with luminous light and energy-sapping heat over a languid landscape barely cooled by an uncommitted breeze ruffling the dark green canopy of the forest below.
Shafts of brilliant sun illuminate Nature's creative design in the embroidered wings of a Swallowtail, the exquisitely delicate body of a damselfly, glinting watery gold on the ripples of a stream gliding casually within the ravine.
The air is still redolent with the fragrance of honeysuckle past their prime. Now canes of blackberry are sumptuous with blossoms and the showy pink flowers of thimbleberries. There is a promiscuous display of bright buttercups in the meadow reflecting the sun, among the orange hawkweed.
The divine trill of a cardinal bells the landscape with its unparalleled melody of sublime provenance which the Red Priest Vivaldi must have emulated for the stringed instruments of his beloved orphans. The unrestrained mocking taunt of a woodpecker responds.
