Old house for sale –
in the sidewalk cement,
mother’s handprint

Rosemary Gwaltney (mountainrecluse at yahoo.com): I'm the mother of a large and wonderful family, now mostly grown. Most of our children are adopted, and have disabilities. Also I’m a 15 year veteran home school teacher. My husband and I, with only four children still at home, live high in the northern mountains of Idaho. I write haiku, assorted other poetry, and am working on a book. My poetry has been published, or will soon be published, in Acorn, The Heron’s Nest, Short Stuff, The Fairfield Review, and a book called The ABC’s of Grief. View all posts by Rosemary J. Gwaltney
eternal oak
struck by lightning …
shattered lovers’ initials
Memories from
the former landlords;
traces of rosary
vacant lot –
tears of the
weeping willow
–
cherry blossoms
this late in the year
