Wheatfields with Reaper

Joe Winter
Thatched Cottages

Merely an ordinary
     tumbledown story
          of folk and their tall tales.

Blossoming Chestnut Trees

A great chandelier
     of candles. Will the gossiping
          ladies fall quiet at the light?


The House of Père Pilon

The house is hidden
     by a tree which commands
          the sky as a halo.


Blossoming Chestnut Branches

Blind bankrupts of storm –
     a white-flowered branch
          and a pink-flowered spray, still in business.
