Phillip Coffey - Much Adorned

Never in my youthful days did I ever dream that a “Beauty”- one or more would drop to my feet.
Now being much older - leaves of beauty transcend From above, falling softly to the forest floor.

First heard of the season - flocks of geese flying southward, while I sit here silently, peacefully with little more.

Tell me once again, why is there so much discussion about all the people scorned?
While I seat blissfully, listening to the melodies of the earth of much adorned.

Carol Perkins: The Sound of Family (Part Two)

Previous Column: The Sound of Family (Part One)

By Carol Perkins

"Thump." The sound of a baseball hitting the side of a house wouldn't have been louder. Four-year-old Sagan fell out of bed while sleeping next to Aunt Carol.

I dashed around, picked him up, and checked for blood. Thankfully, there was only a knot on his head. After he stopped crying, I rocked him back and forth, wondering whether to let him go back to sleep or keep him awake. He drifted back to sleep, and after I laid him on his pillow, I scooted the bed against the wall.

Halloween morning was spent preparing for trick-or-treating. Sarah was having another family over, so she set the dining room table with a variety of crafts. Sagan was already in his costume, practicing his Batman moves. I watched for signs of brain damage.

By the time the guests arrived, my sister-in-law and I had dressed in our witch costumes.
