Scarecrows...................


The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh

 


Scarecrow, murmur, tell the tale,
Of winds that howl and rains that wail.
Point the way, through dusk and dawn,
A silent guide till night is gone.

No voice to cry, no tears to weep,
Yet dreams he holds in straw-filled sleep
Of fields alive, of skies that hum,
Of harvests reaped when Autumn's come.

Since ancient times his spirit flies,
Carried forth in brooding skies.
Scarecrow stands, both proud and meek,
Telling tales the winds bespeak

McSweeney's.........................

..........................................celebrates FALL:













"The point is: fall is unequivocally the greatest 90-some-days of the year, the Muhammad Ali of seasons."

Full, heart-felt paean to my favorite season too is here.

Lasts............................


                               Autumn Movement

I cried over beautiful things knowing no beautiful thing lasts. 

The field of cornflower yellow is a scarf at the neck of the copper 
      sunburned woman, the mother of the year, the taker of seeds. 

The northwest wind comes and the yellow is torn full of holes, 
     new beautiful things come in the first spit of snow on the 

          northwest wind, 
     and the old things go, not one lasts

-Carl Sandburg
