Ben Franklin, February Freeze, Draughts Of The Sun

Folder: 
Forgiving

 

BEN FRANKLIN

 

He said that in Paris
he had lapsed into
venery and venison
but perhaps not revenge.

FEBRUARY

A sudden February freeze
arrested the raindrops
on the branch
like a snapshot..
stopped them in their flow
but the afternoon sun frees
drops from the morning freeze
... gone the frost
nothing was lost

*

DRAUGHTS OF THE SUN

now we are free
to take draughts of the sun

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Franklin had been a vegetarian
when discovering electricity and writing
'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'
