I found this site via Dependable Renegade.
As a blogger, I’m told I’m not worth much in the way of laughs, so I suggest you visit Dependable Renegade as a palate cleanser after all my hyper-earnestness.

Rivers and rivulets, runnels, branches, creeks,
crawdads, minnows, mussels, shells on the sandbar,
riffles and still pools, ledges and drop offs,
silt-slick rocks tilt and clank under wading feet,
mud clouds the clear, water distorts ankles, knees.
Hooves plod a four-beat rhythm, trace chains
jingle, grandfather in the bottom plows corn,
tobacco, the horse blows heavy snorting sighs,
the voice a tuneless gentling “gee, gee, hawup,
come up now.” Cold bacon on cold biscuits,
water in a Mason jar, wrapped in a flour sack,
stashed in the shade, the sycamore’s exposed roots
a cave under the bank sheltering catfish, carp.
