At the Corner of My Mind

Posted by lenleatherwood on

At the corner of my mind

I see a scrub jay

Nipping at cat food

In a red plastic bowl

Bright blue bird

Shining iridescent

At the corner of my mind,

I hear an old farm truck

Whining around curves

  On the National Forest Road

Red rusty rig

Clamoring incessant

At the corner of my mind

I smell orange blossoms

Floating amid tree leaves

In the early morning air

Pale perfect petals

Emanating fragrance

At the corner of my mind

 I taste fresh honey

Flowing on beeswax

At a thriving hive

Busy buzzing bees

Sweetening the world

I am a native Texan who has lived for the past 30 years in Southern California. I am a published author of both short memoir and fiction, a two-time Pushcart nominee, a nationally award-winning writing coach, an editor, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. In addition, I am the mother of three grown daughters of whom I am extremely proud, a grandmother of four darling children and the wife of a man I still love after 44 years.
