A nostalgic verse about the fleeting joys of summer and childhood. It laments the drying pond and waning blooms as the year turns, urging protection of young hearts and truths before youth grows older.

An old tale tells how a celebrated Italian artist, distraught by misfortune, encounters a boy of astonishing beauty whose portrait haunts the artist.

A reflective account laments the Lincoln tomb at Oak Ridge with its simple sod mound and marble doorway, while condemning a $500 notice vandalizing the doorway.

An added note reports a Newfoundland dog attack on a girl in Carroll township, with medical aid needed.
A street encounter with a man calling himself Dead Broke unfolds as he laments a life of poverty. The piece blends humor and pathos, tracing how name and circumstance shape misfortune and resilience. A reflective interlude on labor, trade, and value follows, elevating humble work over aristocratic illusion.
