The Great Swamp

Who made this place

of wandering water?

Maze of pickerelweed, 

sweet spicebush and skunk cabbage,

where guideposts 

of red maple,

not-quite drowned,

wait for the chisel 

of the architect-engineer

 in his glossy brown

beaver coat.

This is an original watercolor, ink, and acrylic drawing on professional quality paper stock, approximately 4.5" x 4.5".

FrOGS

Meandering stream

bordered by watery alcoves 

of cool shade

under heart leaves

sentient bubbles 

of amphibian eyes

spy.

Friends of the Great Swamp

know this sanctuary

of the soul

guard and celebrate

this heavenly earth.
