A Great Pumpkin

October 31, 2009

      
 Edgar Allen Poe and Raven
were taken with this pumpkin
 (see the Oct. 19 post),
 a round straw bale
 fancifully transformed
 into a pumpkin
 to let people know
 about Duncan’s Corn Maze along the Robesonia-Bernville Road.
 Ingenious, honest solution to the problem. Happy Hallowe’en!

Dark over Park, Bright over Light

June 26, 2009

   Traffic Tally: 378082.
   Pick of the litter: a piece of light blue paper.
   Little squirrel leaps out of the trash can when I make a deposit. I’m free!
   Oh so quiet compared to yesterday. No Odorama, no drama.
    At last, a heron in the creek at picnic bend. It reminds me of how humans look [...]

The Vanilla Monologue

February 19, 2009

   If coffee, chocolate and vanilla beans are brown, why are most vanilla flavored things white? The answer, my friends is in the dictionary and inside this investigative report by Warrior and Edgar Allan Poe with Raven as their guide.

This question contains elements of surprise and pleasure. Everyone we asked was delighted by this query.
Of intrigue. [...]

Energy Confetti

January 19, 2009

     
 
    Was it the material, the method or the man that made the bits of track flick out of their footprints? Reason unknown. One set of  shoe treads – out of all the tracks on the trail – had bits and pieces of the sole’s waffle pattern shake loose and redistribute around the toe area.

Weekend Warrior: Poe and the Lemporal Toads

January 12, 2009

 
   NeverGore:  Not an inconvenient truth that arrived overnight.
   We got snow.  Real snow. Real light snow.
   Snow lodging in notches.
   The white crystals, the powder-white stuff showed up in the crooks and crags,
 crotches and nodes of trees, trunks, bushes and branches.
 
Sundry splotches and batches of  blotches, calling to mind temporal lobes and lemporal toads.  (Cousins of tree frogs that lodge in [...]
