Among the Ducks- Michael Erickson
I find myself thinking of such simple pleasures as these, With feed in hand and ducks abounding. Hands and hearts are full, As excitement makes both webbed feet and shoes dance. How can I not bask in the shrieks of children, As they watch waddling forms rise as one. Sleek yet awkward bodies mill about, … Continue reading Among the Ducks- Michael Erickson

Summer Monsoon- Michael Erickson
I wait for moments like these, Where nature seems to muster strength, And forces older than humanity itself, Converge upon this place. When summer heat turns to furious cold, Heavy clouds gather over leathery ground, And all our yearning thoughts turn skyward, As the very sky tears itself apart.
