October 2020
So many clever utterances have been and should be said of this
season of the year. Even where it makes little difference, still the
trees scatter their leaves recklessly, those same leaves they clung to
tightly when summer storms drenched them and the winds whipped them
mercilessly. And our gracious God showed someone how to make rakes.
We welcome the poetry from an author new to our pages but
well practiced in the art of weaving words. Walt Perryman whose bio made
this editor chuckle, and whose rhymes bear truth and serenity in their
meters, has shared these for October: "Worry," "West Texas," and
"Without My Cell Phone."
Bruce Clifford, with more hours at home has sent three poems:
"What Are We Missing Here," "Within the Inside," and "The Cost." Bud
Lemire has included pictures with his poems:"My Photo Book," "The Year
of the Passing,"and "The Kitchen Tool." John Blair calls one of his
poems "Another Cat and 'Window Poem," and the other is "Little
Miracles." Your editor offers her status update titled "Another Day in
Isolation."
We are missing the "Armchair Genealogy" column from Melinda
Cohenour who is a bit under the weather and thus abed, but we have a
delicious sounding recipe of hers for Italian Pork Chops that her
husband shares in his column, "Cooking with Rod."
The columns by Melinda may be accessed with this link:
Other columnists are Marilyn Carnell, "Sifoddling Along,"
with a focus on names and pronunciation of same; LC Van Savage,
"Consider This," penned a "Final Wishes" verse. Mattie Lennon, in "Irish
Eyes" gives us an interesting introduction to the author of "Why the
Moon Travels." He includes a vintage explanation of the ages of man (and
woman) and announces his home town is in the news again.
Judy Kroll's column "On Trek" declares though now safe that
the Oregon fires had forced evacuation and much concern. Thomas F.
O'Neill, like the teacher he is, has much to say about the students past
and present and expresses in his column, "Introspective," his
satisfaction with having the opportunity to begin a new school year with
eager new students. John Blair notices the least of creatures and gives
a sensitive report on some that share his garden, car, and home in
"View from My Back Steps."
"Mike Craner Ramblings" discuss some deeper meanings on
viewing a brick and its author may cause you to look at such common
items differently. He also wears the Webmaster hat and is co-founder of
this eZine for which this person is thankful. So we are winding up and
putting in motion October days, and not a single Halloween remembrance
or poem in the issue.
Look for us here again in November!
