Things I Love About You

Pine trees

Maple trees

Birch trees

(and all the other ones,

too)

Summer river water

Winter lake ice

(and everything in between,

too)

Light flurries

Hard snow storms

Icicles

(and everything cold,

too)

Dark green

Deep blue

Sparkling clear

Bright red

(and every color you have,

too)

Whistling wind

Chirping birds

Roaring rivers

(and the other sounds,

too)

Sunshine in the morning

Night's blanket at evening

(and the rest of the day,

too)

I love you

for your

sunsets

rough tree bark

ugly flowers

beautiful bugs

and everything

everything

everything

else.

    they called it

    but when the bears came early

    no one

    could explain the questions

    away.

    Be Bored

    I've been thinking recently a lot about my time on screens, and how it seems like I can't escape my phone and other technology.
