Nanook's Paddling Poetry

The tales are there

alder rill
The best light for outdoor photography is often found in autumn.
This "alder rill" is in Killarney Lake Park, Fredericton.

The tales are there
on heath and hill,
up granite stair,
down alder rill.
 
You won't find them
in a book,
but round a fire
in forest nook.
 
The paths converge
mother and child,
on grassy verge,
in meadow wild.
 
Come sit by my campfire,
rest your weary bones.
Tell us all a tale
in your learned tones.

 Reach out and touch a rock 

If I could go with you
