Small and humble,
It fills bellies,
When there’s no
Choice of grain.
The green leaves,
The tiny fruit,
Pantry for
Times of pain.

The Big Scale
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
In the big scale
Of things
Where watershed moments
Froth and fall in
Flush forward,
Each of us but a dot
Drenched in mist
Hoping life
Flows without
A fast-forward.

A Slice Of The Big Apple
Sometimes the core of the issue
Can find growth in the yard
But the meat of the matter
Is what you must not discard …
Note: New York State is known for its apples. Also, New York City is called “The Big Apple” … with multitudes of people wanting to have a slice of that apple for themselves … So, though the photo may not be the ‘traditional’ way of portraying the ‘apple-appeal’ of the City, I’d like to think you’d agree that at the very least it shows it in a very digestible manner … 🙂

Another Woman’s Treasure

There’s a hole in that kettle …
I don’t care, don’t throw it.
There’s a hole it that kettle —
This junk won’t make tea.
I don’t care if it’s holey
That pretty, red kettle,
I don’t care if it’s holey
It’s perfect for me! …
(Yeah, if you noted a bit of reverberation, this is very loosely based on “There’s a hole in the bucket” children’s folk song … ;))

Yards of Yard
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
They looked outside the window into
Yards and yards of yard,
And knew this house will be one where
All play will thrive unmarred.
The world that spread
For miles ahead
A guard for
Childhood’s boulevard.

Early Light

Still
The promise of day sweeps
Broad calm in its sway,
And the sun,
Rising gold
Lights new stories
Untold.

Numbered
Photo: Amitai Asif
‘Twas the best of the betters
The coveted spot
In the field,
Where the corn rose in sunshine
And worms did not stay
Concealed.
He fought hard for the privilege,
Beak and claws he had
To wield.
As the count of days rose
His calls echoed less
Even keeled.
Yet he hoped that the home
He’d claimed for her
Still appealed.

Active Trust
Photo: Ofir Asif
Twixt the tethers of Heaven
And Earth,
Swings the trust
In the ropes
That you’d learned but
Perhaps
Did not quite
Yet test out.

A Sweet Moment
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Take a pause
In the middle of a busy
Day,
To let calm
Wash down the toil, and sweetly stress
Allay.
