The woods

A gentle, lyrical walk through the heart of the forest, this collection captures the rhythm of seasons and the quiet conversations between people and the wild. From the soaring geese that herald spring’s arrival to the simple satisfaction of sitting on a pine‑studded stoop, each piece blends rustic dialect with vivid observation, inviting listeners to feel the sun‑filtered air and hear the rustle of leaves. The poems celebrate both the grand sweep of nature—storms, migrations, blooming fields—and the intimate moments of a solitary mind finding peace among the trees.

Interwoven with humor and humility, the verses explore the contrast between ownership of land and the shared bounty of the woods, reminding us that the forest belongs to everyone, regardless of deeds or dollars. Seasonal snapshots—march’s reluctant thaw, the fever of early spring, the bright chorus of summer—offer a timeless meditation on renewal and belonging. This evocative tapestry of words makes the listener’s imagination wander along winding paths, breathing in the scent of pine and the promise of new growth.
