For Sandra Spikes Trotti.
Before there was ever thought,
need of Farm Safety 4 kids,
We were the experimental ones,
You jumping out of a hayloft,
Meeting a pitchfork on the ground,
Bob O'Rear over a fence, to jump,
Meeting a rake on the ground,
I, running ever so barefoot,
was there ever need of shoes,
No we were pure country,
Long before it was 'cool',
Running a piece of wire,
Thru my foot,
Granny McMahon, your picture,
She treasured in her cabin
Wrapped it with her bacon
And whispered words,
To comfort, only she knew,
It healed...
Knowing more to the Spikes History
And the great piece of land,
Adjoins the Whitman land,
and his wife a 'Spikes' now understand,
My Aunt Married a Whitman,
Links to the Spikes forever grand,
My Aunt Ruby and Uncle Art,
Connects with the Hyatt's blood,
and we all connect in our lineage,
We all played upon that piece of ground
Teepees we built , of straw and pine limbs,
The world was at our command,
We raced down the hill,
Screaming, Yellow Hair would have fled,
If he seen our coming...
Road wear has taken it toll,
We humble about with canes and walkers,
Grateful of the sunlight thru the Sabine Pines,
We travel down dirt road still,
When ever we find them,
Memories do not fade,
They are our DNA,
To the historical cemetery
you are to be put to rest,
There so close to the Sabine,
There near where the Brushy,
Which winds thru the woods,
And upon a tree, is these words,
Forever never to be forgotten,
Frank Foster was carved,
Leaving a message for the world to see..

mothers day .MOTHER OUR LOVE IS FOREVER
pine tree sway,
cattle low about the pine prairie,
wild flowers send their radiance of bloom,
Echinacea, crowfoot violets of blue,
Cicadas sing the evening song,
Thereupon the porch,
Sits the rocking chair,
It sways as she rises,
Her apron so white with roses,
Her rest, even on this day,
A mother never thinks of self,
But what has to be accomplished,
Buttermilk pies to make,
A spread of joy for all to eat,
Mother, Mother, we sit,
Our blessings is the food,
Our happiness, is indeed,
What you have given

Pound Upon The Sabine Ground..
Awakened by the sound of crows outside my window,
With dreams of an Italian Villa, with vin so rare,
Dancing French maids in summer night's dreams,
Rudely awakened is such a displeasure,
Headed to Toledo, with my Shakespeare, rod and lure,
Walking through a piney grove so fine,
Spotted some leaves of grass, so radiance,
Walked over and found a book of prose,
Went to my truck, and put it there,
Did my day of fishing, catching bass and cats,
At home late in the evening, I came across the room,
Dreams again of poets and French maids,
Awakened by crows screaming out my window,
Went to my sitting chair,
Picked up the book of poetry,
But it was only some words of Pound,
What else could one find on Sabine Ground?

Isaiah, Laban and Jacob,
the three sons of Ismael,
sent by their father,
into the distant forest,
instructed to built,
a house fortified with grace,
and from a mighty journey,
they reached the land,
and into the virgin woods they went,
finding the finest of oaks to fall,
timbers hewed with sharp ax,
they shaped the foundation,
four square to true form,
filling the walls,
with a compound,
of red clay, taken from,
the river so red
mixed with pine straw,
found 'neath the pines so tall,
their ax so strong,
taken oak blocks,
and a shingle blade,
to pound out shingles,
to adorned the roofs,
to protect from the harse winters,
and when the house was built,
the wives came to join,
and a feast of wild game,
and harps were heard,
the sound of harps,
this merriment,
reached Ismael,
and he came,
seeing what the sons,
had built in the wilderness,
being most pleased,
to you my sons,
I bequeath this land,
with prosperity to all
of your prodigy,
to work and serve it well,
for all eternity..

I live in the deeper woods, Sabine Frontier, not as Hemingway or Faulkner, still it is where squirrels run and jump from tree to tree, and a spring robin sings of its morning joy as I sit in the straight-back chair upon my open porch. ...The distance is the sound of a neighbor's dog, as the morning sun filters through the tall majestic pines, is he calling for my dogs to come to the road edge, as surely at this time of the morning, he is not warning of a panther that walks through these woods..... He does sing at times in the night, as suspicion that it is to a wayfaring panther, prancing through the darkness and dense of these woods.. Coffee is consumed, and liberated from the sleep that held me captive these past 7 hours..
