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 Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.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 forest floor, well on its way to freezing - encouraged, bullied by impending winter's dominion over land and inland waterways...
Those ferocious icy blasts have brought new, permanent snow, covering that rigid floor. Snow flurries pause lazily in downward spiral toward winter's certain depths.
Wind whips bare branches. The scarlet head of a woodpecker brutalizing the trunk of an ancient pine, shards flying reveals a wide, white gap; the bird rewarded for its destructive industry.
Clouds catapult their spare contents with diminishing returns as an insistent gust sweeps them imperiously aside to reveal an azure promise.
Beams of modest brilliance modified by the season yet still sufficiently solared illuminate a child's luminous snow-angel.
