Our Photo Contest Continues!
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light.
from “Fern Hill,” by Dylan Thomas
Our Photo Contest Continues! Just think about the desserts!
בסתר יער עד סחלב פרח בדד
In a secret place of an old-growth forest
an orchid bloomed in solitude
The Orchid

I want to go where the leaves are burning,
Burning in scarlet and gold;
“Leaves,” by Lillie Belle Dimond

Silence
Leonard Cohen, “Summer Haiku,” from The Spice-Box of Earth
and a deeper silence
when the crickets
hesitate

“… Perilous beauty–
and already Jane is digging out
her colored tennis shoes,
one mauve, one yellow, like large crocuses.”

“I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked…”

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”

Haiku (stellar blue jays) [sic]
Hazel nuts, brown leaves,
They fly in formation, last reign —
Blue drops, summer sky.

Give Us a Hand – תֵּן כָּתֵף
Give us a hand, close your eyes,
Purim is here—let’s forget it all.
Trample your pain underfoot,
Open your mouth and sing out loud:
Aha! Aha! Let’s all go nuts
We’ll figure it out and survive despite hardships.
Aha! Aha! We’ll do as we please
We’ll live, and see miracles and wonders.
