Leaves Leona Mason Heitsch

A three part history in what some refer to as poetry: Part one, beginning 30 years ago, Part two, 1999, the last year of the century, Part three, for those who weren't even born thirty years ago. Tested out on local school children who grab a pencil and start out on their own. The locality, rural Washington County Missouri, stays the same. Time never does, and the poems, like leaves falling in season, swirl about in history, while roots supply the nutrients for new buds, poems which aren't even born now.
