 Fallen
Leaves
This poem is from Ed Keenan,
author & cowboy poet
A poem inspired
by the time of year is a poem that brings us very near to that
which inspires us.
I entered the
woods and paused
In autumn trees the poets of October
The opaque fire of fallen leaf
Emeralds bled of blues to pale sulfur
Now dance with mizzle patter
And taunt the gaunt and tease the bare
Too helpless to resist
On cameos of
burnished gold
And treetops yellowed by September
Cottonwoods like flowers fade
Deep furrows cut by scarlet plows
The mustangs of a setting sun
Before evening wears her velvet shawl
In quest of winter’s rest
My eyes harvest
all the beauty
In the warmth of sun and nip of wind
And dewdrops on persimmons
A sodden moth with wings outspread
Stuck flat on orangey-red
Joins lifeless colors on the ground
Reminders of the dead

Our Mission:
Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice.
It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community." |
