Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The gleanings of the pruning
that the trees would be more fruitful
a sprig of apple limbs
fallen to the ground

A tiny nest, on the branch
smaller than my daughter’s fist
resting on the hay

Gathering the fallen nest
nestled in my hands
to share with the girls when I get home
I can’t wait to see her face


May 12, 2010
nest I found at Walk to Emmaus
training weekend
April 2009
Alfred, ME
which Shyanne took to school recently
