      The Lost Days

We are casualties

of the season,

like onions and potatoes

sequestered in the damp

cellar recesses.

Instead of kisses

we sniffle at each other

and sit confined 

to a cough and a sneeze, lethargic

as cats.  Projects

sit dormant

and scattered

’til Spring.

Blizzard Chronicles: Shape-Shifters in Minneapolis

__________________________________________________________________________________________

There’s a blizzard wielding a mighty blow in the North. It is getting cold in the Governor’s office in Minneapolis. The shape-shifters are out in force, they are slipping on the ice and their own tongues.

Bodies of Water

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I am fortunate and blessed to be surrounded by bodies of water. That is what we are pretty much composed of physically. Michigan is a water wonderland with all her fresh water streams, rivers and lakes. The Great Lakes surround us. No place on Earth like it. I hate to think, that without water we would have to exist as rocks.

Global Warming

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It’s been a real snow job. Lots of fog with silhouettes in the mist. A game of tic tac toe in the sky. Huge grants and fame for scientists who think they’re God. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Richard Rensberry, Author of “Bigfoot Blueprint”

Peach Pie

PEACH PIE

           by Conversations With Sasquatch Author Richard Rensberry

The Sasquatch children

bring me peaches

ripe and warmed by the sun.

They bring rain water,

nasturtiums and honey comb.

They leave me a stone

rolling pin, a hollowed stump

with ground kenaf flour 

and a huge carved bowl

for mixing fruit,

cinnamon, and cloves.

I heat my stove

to three hundred fifty degrees; 

crack an egg of quail

and glaze the crust; then

clove and cinnamon dust

the honied peaches.  I bake

and whip fresh sweet cream.

Done, I set the steaming pie

on the kitchen sill to cool.  Patiently 

I wait for their little feet.  I can hear them

whisper as the porch boards creak,

then a giggle and a hand

reaches up

to steal my heart.

Sasquatch Thumb Stone

Many gifts from the Sasquatch come,

and this is a thumb stone.

It is something to think on

and a measure of patience.

It is a vessel that carries

the beauty of trust, first in oneself

and then in another.  It is a guide

from the dark to the light.
