The inspiration for these verses comes from recent headlines in the newspaper. When a reader ventures away from the front page, there is a treasure of life’s stories waiting.
Weather vanes invented with single aim
Adding visual symbolism’s acclaim
Wandering away from life’s busy streets
Nature offers solitude’s finest seats
Rescuing two lives in one single day
Sixth grader’s actions blaze this hero’s way
Local diner evolves, now town’s flagship
Coffee and donuts to full menu trip
Treetop’s aerial gliders taking flight
Flying squirrels airborne, astounding sight
“Fiddler on the Roof” shares fabled story
Cultural icon relives its glory
Simplify cooking steps for more success
Start early and share duties, with less stress
Democracy threatened by world’s neglect
Time to promote common good’s architect
Embracing its increasing attendance
Art museum’s lasting independence
Heartbreaking storms, compassion now descends
Neighbors’ lasting love bringing help to mend
Big Sky Buckeye 
So creative … wow, so cool.
