Gathered Pinecones poem stories Mark L Lucker Books Reviews
If you are a fan of poetry then this book is one that you should enjoy.
I was deeply saddened when I came to the end of this book. I didn't want it to be over. The rustic poem stories of growing up in Minnesota drew fantastical pictures of a lake, sitting on the dock, and orange soda. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I cannot get enough of it & I cannot get enough of this poetry collection. It ended too soon, so I re-read it & I'll continue to re-read it. It's simply wonderful, like breathing fresh air after being underground for too long. It's delightfully insightful, and the prose, at times, truly moved me. Highly recommended!
Highlights
Homage
I went all Santiago once on a
sunfish that weighed nearly a pound long before I knew of Hemmingway the power of words
the pull of the water
I battled the monster
as only a nine-year old could; with every fiber of my being strained to matching tautness of six-pound-test line at the end of my bent, shiny balsawood pole with cork handle
Summers at Horseshoe Lake
were the defining milieu of my life where the rest-of-the-year city kid I was discovered the majesty of woods, water the adrenaline rush of a loon's call, the scent of pine, the calming sounds of wind through birch leaves and wood-framed window screens
The summer I was nine
I went all Santiago on a sunfish weighing nearly a pound
Ernest would be proud.
Frogs
Now that I am all grown up
it would be unseemly to play with frogs
Had I known that fact in my youthful summers perhaps I wouldn't have
gotten to know them so well.
A Minnesota First Love
I was a good friend of her brother - he knows, but has never said a word
On the rare occasions we still meet he smiles a knowledgeable,
unbelieving, remembering grin and I always wonder, after all the years that have passed, just how much she has told him...
or if he figured it all out on his own just watching her face during family dinner-table reminisces about those even warmer summers at the lake.
Gated Communities
Never have I been further from my youth than when I returned to the scene of its places, people, things change time, people, lives elapse
Going home is a
metaphor smorgasbord; abandoned cabin overgrown with woods, withered by age dirt roads now paved familiar sights still sturdy though showing some age roadside greasy spoons now trendily featuring salads locals speak of 'amenities'
Places grow up, people change or vice versa; who can tell? Sedentary change
the place you knew as home always will be, though you can't live there anymore.
Not what I expected.
