Hi Joe

Took a liberty with your photographs. I hope you like the sentiment. Will also post a couple of your pics elsewhere and of course credit you if that is okay.

Rhododendron Path

Sick of the photographs
of oil-slicked pelicans
from the Gulf oil spill,

the chat about culpability
of corporate executives
and playboy serial killers,

I wish instead just to dream
like Millais' "Bubbles" and wander
the rhododendron path
of a childhood park.
