Most seem to have grown opportunistically, the seeds cast about by past generations of squirrels and gone wild in un-manicured spaces between lots. <br /><br />To our benefit, the city has planted some disease resistant elm on some boulevards. We once had thousands, a monoculture decimated some 30 thirty years ago. They were more substantial and cold-hardy than those in in Sendai, e.g.. <br /><br />Guess what? An entire street nearby planted with gingko. Talk about the smell! Dottie and I sniffed them out ...<br /><br />bandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249941360336027944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824606926603448809.post-76460106882431913642013-08-05T22:26:00.919-05:002013-08-05T22:26:00.919-05:00Nice to see the four-liners, too.

I used to sleep out some summer nights beneath it. If ever I rolled onto and crushed a fallen walnut casing, the dark brown stain was appalling.<br />I greatly enjoy the patina of your poetry, Bandit.Titohttp://hailhaiku.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
