The Prevaricating Day

Summer in the North Country

A warm breeze, briefly noted.

Through pine and hardwood,

Crossing fields of corn and

Unmown grass portending hay

Cutting, courting, cunning

Teasing, testing, trimming

As if intending to remain,

Yet only taunting.

June days, behind us now,

Beckoned us out, out

Out to shake off winter

Stubbornly liberating spring

A month of April showers,

Ours for but a pair of days,

Dried to hard baked soil by May

Constraining wildflowers

Still pushing, prodding, poking through

Heralding summer’s silken start.

Now, even as a warm wind blows from the West,

Turning winged wind turbines

Rising from the ridge

Leaves of red and orange burst forth,

From windblown maple

Pecking, peaking

Flaring, fusillade of fall

From a tableau of green and blue

A warning beacon, summer is fleeting!

Autumn lies just beneath the surface

Of the prevaricating day.




The Gathering Storm

The Gathering Storm

Borne on an ill wind, our own

Confers no favor.

Wind in the Washline

Peace Comes on a Breeze

Spirits Rise, Hope is Reborn

The Washline Dances

"Sacred Trust" Book Signing and Discussion with author former Senator Wayne D. King at Plymouth Historical Society, Plymouth, NH.

Artist, author and former State Senator Wayne D. King will be the featured guest on May 15, 2019 at the Plymouth Historical Society, Plymouth, NH. from 7-9 p.m.

Wayne will be reading from and leading a discussion about his novel "Sacred Trust" described by the author as a thinly disguised critique of the Northern Pass proposal and others like it, cloaked in a rollicking campaign of civil disobedience, environmental patriotism and economic sanity.

"Sacred Trust' is a vicarious, high-voltage campaign to stop the Granite Skyway Power Transmission Project and a fight for an energy future based on sustainable, and renewable energy deployed through micro-grids, smart-grids and a competitive environment that makes energy more - not less - affordable.
