An ode to Mother Nature; poems that take their inspiration from the great outdoors.
Dear Groundhogs...
Note: some of you do not celebrate Groundhog Day (every February 2nd). You might be familiar with Candlemas Day (European inspiration for the event). If the groundhog in question sees its shadow on a sunny day, six more weeks of winter; if not, an early spring. And our rodents - starting with Willy and Pete (there are others) - have different prognostications above and below our borders. Nice.

The Lantern of Hope
The Lantern of Hope In a small village surrounded by sand dunes and palm trees, there lived a young man named Hassan. Hassan was kind-hearted and generous, yet he carried a heavy sadness in his heart. He believed in Allah, but his faith felt fragile, like a candle in the wind. Life had been hard for him. His father had passed away when he was a child, leaving him to care for his mother and younger sister. Every day he worked in the fields under the scorching sun, returning home exhausted, with little energy to pray or read the Qur’an.
