Stoic Serenity, for Voiced Verses

A nod to whoever or whatever calls the shots.

Cue the Tumbleweeds, for Voiced Verses

I write many poems inspired by childhood photographs, and some of them connect in the story of my upbringing in a redwood grove in Trinidad, CA. If you would like to follow the thread of this poem, it connects to two others, Redwood Memory https://medium.com/voiced-verses/redwood-memory-a69b5fd33f9 and Swing Set, 1977 https://medium.com/voiced-verses/swing-set-1977-f761023d7d5e both published in Voiced Verses.

Frostnip

I am a poet on Medium. Is that short enough? It said the shorter, the better, and I want to do a good job. I don't want to make anyone at SoundCloud mad at me because I typed too much about myself. I'm not even really all that interesting. I'm just this guy, you know?
