the child halts
in the shade of the old elm    
dripping ice pop

    I love the image of a child and an old elm. I reminds me of my childhood in Beloit Wisconsin. The most stately tree in our yard was an elm that my grandfather planted. Thanks Patricia for memory.

    the tangles of an old elm
    visiting grandpa

    cool scarlet night--
    poinciana during dog days of summer
