THE GALUMF
There’s a rare, endangered animal
That’s never, ever been found,
Because it’s the color of a shadow
When it galumphs across the ground.

The sidelong sun in the final fall days
Turns green to browns and golds to grays.
The clouds billowy puffs against deep azure blue
As the wind whispers warnings that winters soon due.
Turns green to browns and golds to grays.
The clouds billowy puffs against deep azure blue
As the wind whispers warnings that winters soon due.

STARTING TO BEGIN
I could pretend to know the end.
I might predict the middle.
But it’s starting off that often tends
To remain to me a riddle.

One of my favorite people has just released her debut book. Andrea is a gifted writer, librarian, and great friend. Its a sensitive look at a girl as she struggles to adjust to her parents separation. Highly recommended!
