Alluring Wyoming
on a midsummer evening before the storm:
A sun-kissed, bubbling creek 
beneath an aura of ivy laurel
The forest, deep in magenta mist
and whispy, icicle blue angel wings of ivory hue
An electric yellow sunbeam glow 
Turns jadesheen, then juniper green
The serene terra cotta terrain
with its ashen sagebrush,
cornhusk and rye
Like desert dust against a copper sky
Lava stone [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lamarhowell.wordpress.com&blog=1534272&post=388&subd=lamarhowell&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Do you fear what I fear?

Listen to what I say
Stay out of those bars, Shepard boy

Don&#8217;t you hit on mean, redneck guys
Those with tattoos and a scruffy beard

Imagine if he never came to visit
Suppose he didn&#8217;t bring gifts

Just suppose you never felt his touch

I just returned from watching Peter Jackson&#8217;s film &#8220;District 9&#8243; and here&#8217;s a perspective:
I see everything through a kaleidoscope with colored jewels forming crosses in various shapes and colors, and so it is with District 9.

Today a pair of  hawks soared high above the heads of a bride and groom as they were taking their vows.
I turned to Job 39:26 and read, &#8220;Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and spread its wings toward the south?&#8221;
It seemed that the hawk was a symbol for the wedding pair. There is something [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lamarhowell.wordpress.com&blog=1534272&post=366&subd=lamarhowell&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I have seen the Death Star,
wandered through the universe &#8211;
where I carelessly jettisoned my heart
So many failed attempts at reversing course,
but in my vagrancy I found
the cosmos to be spiral &#8211; nearly round
Always bringing my hollow capsule back 
to where it all began &#8211;
Somewhere between the flaming start
and the sputtering, gasping end
Lies my heart
 
Is it too large [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lamarhowell.wordpress.com&blog=1534272&post=358&subd=lamarhowell&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Where’s my GI Joe? My two-year old son’s first sentence. The almost-six-inch camouflage green, or white, or black-uniformed soldiers with hinged hips, elbows, and knees, always squeezed by Jonny’s baby-fat fingers. His little regiment of toy soldiers lived in crowded and merciless toddler-service in a shoebox quanson hut under little Jonny’s bed.
