My Other Blog: Random Storyteller

Chattahoochee Song #2

I dabble riverside by the root-ripped, lichen-trimmed log

Heard by Canadian geese on its bank-hollowing fall;

The sun’s blue waves dapple-slap tiny water eddies,

And brown-gray plumage runs in short currents

On the plump breast, wings, and back of a moment-still gander

That suddenly hooks his beak in a ripple, stabbing and nibbling,

Stabbing and nibbling, his proud neck arching and turning,

Then shooting up straight—mate alert—his sharp white cheek patches,

Like arrows, paint his black head and crown; I draw a quick breath, . . .

Chattahoochee Song #1

Oh, my mother, did you paddle the river

Or cast long, slow-motion lines—ambitionless

To net a mess of sun-flashed rainbow trout?

You, the dreamer, whose river fortune I never knew,

What tunes did you hum to bankside gurgles

And brief rapids gushing white into midstream?

Barbara & Bunny—Ladies of the Greatest Generation

My mother lived by one of Barbara’s finest quotes: “Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people—your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.”
