POEMS

Michigan

By: Matthew Ashbrook

I feel the calling of the land, The place my seed was rooted

The Trees and summer streams; In fields where I once grew;

The thunderstorms and sun-drenched lakes, The home of every memory

The land of boyhood dreams. Of everything once new.

The little town where someone’s dad Beneath the sea of motion,

Owned every shop and store; Beneath the waves and foam,

And every face you saw you knew I rest on its foundation --

And welcomed at your door. Michigan is home.

A forest full of mystery,

An undiscovered find

The flexed imagination

In an adolescent mind.

Meeting MooseOn Isle Royale, there's no excusefor missing out on meeting mooseor wolves or loons, a jay or fox.You'll likely meet them, and if notyou won't find temple, church or steeple.Really, there's not many people,just trees and bogs and inland lakes.So drift on through, make no mistake.It's fun to wander on the loose.So take a hikeand meet some moose.
