Winter Grass

Winter Grass
so light upon your stems
a pillow on your plumes.
Your grace will last
untill the wieght can be held
no more.
Then you start again.

November Colour

"How can one know colour in
perpetual green, and what good is warmth
without cold to give it sweetness?"

November Blue

Blue Jay
A November wind
low ligh sky.




Sycophanta ?

In a world where everyone with a phone
can take the "Selfie"
Showing off where they are,
who they are with
or just how smart they look?

I give you...Me!
in all my normal glory!

Novembers Garden

A November Garden
does not exist.
A skeleton of once was
is all there is.
A bloom since passed
in such contrast.
unless of course
you see the beauty that is...

~JE Ted Gardner


Riders on the Storm

Into this house we're born
into this house we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone,
like an actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Country Road

Country Road
Take me home to the place I belong...
This is Jim Gardner country
a Blue Birds haven.

In this country side
my father was diligent.
He resurected the population
of the Eastern Bluebird
with an unwavering passion
every bird box in this country
has his finger prints.
