some things i love

















Your enchantment in a lonely wood,
The fight and color of a rainbow trout,
My in-basket empty and a new good book,
Binoculars fixed on a strange new bird,
Sadie’s point, and a covey of quail,
The end of a six-mile run in the rain,
Blue slope, soft snow, fast run, no fall,
A dovetail joint without a gap,
Grandchildren coming in our front door,
The same ones leaving in a day or two,
And life, till what rhymes with breath
Takes me from all things I share with you.







                              Jimmy Carter (  frmr president of USA  )

  1. ah yes
    those good old blue square ski slopes
    they were about my speed

    i'm probably too old to ski now
    at least downhill

    i like this poem
