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 Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
In the still solitude of the winter woods a hush hangs on the landscape of dark tree trunks standing like sentry posts amid great pine forest giants anchored firmly by an accumulated snow pack sifted generously with fresh-fallen snow.
The sky, too, hovers, a mirror image of the ground billowed with snow, shimmering pearl-grey, silver, white. The silence suddenly broken by a coarse, hoarse racket of deafening dimensions. A murder of crows slaughtering the peace.
They shift and shuffle around the prickly, lofty spires of two-masted pines whose size bespeak their majesty, dignity offended by the rudeness of the invading horde; cackling, croaking, lifting their black wings outspread like phantoms circling the landscape of the sky.
