Kentucky Color: The Blooming of the Rose

Click title for complete poem and photo.

By Billy Joe Fudge
There are some things that aren't
Very showy from the start.
They're not like a high blue sky,
Or nature's meadow lark.

They're more like unto a weed
Growing amongst the grain,
Or the dark storm clouds
Before a gentle rain.

Letter: we have also lost a friend

Billy Joe Fudge writes in response to the remembrance of Phil Hanna:
Even more than that, we have lost a friend. He will always stand in the special, Gentleman Hall of Fame section of my heart. He was a former Homeplace on Green River director.

During his tenure and example, I learned so much about how to treat those with whom I disagree. Obviously, contention and condemnation had no place in his heart and I truly seek to follow his example by emptying my heart of both as well!

Letter: Coffey's Fly on the Wall entry

James Carmicle writes:
A good piece by Coffey written in fine style that takes me back to teaching Virginia Woolf's narrative The Death of the Moth (1942). Readers may find that piece compelling as a juxtaposition between one's perception of life versus death.
