Poet’s Corner
Upland
Art Wielgus, Glenview resident
On the upland at the
slope,
magnificent water
tumbles.
On the talus climber
stumbles,
on small, dewy leaves of
grass.
To his eyes disclosed is
spa,
marvelous mountains,
falls and streams,
fabled landscape —
rare appearing frail flora.
Leafed trees and conifers,
crooked wood and little
flowers.
Raining often — scary
blizzards.
Slanted sidewalks among
ranges.
There the weather
quickly changes —
swiftly hunting are the
buzzards.
