Your Sunday Poem
From Ted Kooser's collected poems, "Delights & Shadows
Screech Owl
All night each reedy whinny
from a bird no bigger than a heart
flies out of a tall black pine
and, in a breath, is taken away
by the stars. Yet, with small hope
from the center of darkness
it calls out again and again.
A Stitch in Time . . .
And if you're footloose this Sunday, get over to the Madonna Convention Center, the one behind the motel, for the GINORMOUS, AMAZING quilt show, from 9 - 4. It's about $7 at the door and worth every penny to see the extraordinary work the quilters do. Eye goggling, mind bogglint. It'll part your hair!

Thanks for the poem Ann! Beautiful!
Wasn't that quilt show something. Woa! I've done quilting (machine, totally amateur stuff) so i know how hard that stuff is. I can only doff my cap.
And ain't Ted Kooser kool? Project for this Year: Everybody, go out and buy books by your favorite poet. Most are out in paperback. Gotta feed and support your Poets or they'll go extinct, like the little screech owl, then where would we be?
