I push
He pulls
He’s in charge of the big pieces
I take care of the details
Now and then
One of us will stoop
To remove a stick or stone
Or a small treasure to keep
Our neighbor works alone
His blower is more efficient
But loud
We hum

I love 'small' poems with 'life lessons' to remember...like this one. Thanks, Judy

can so relate to this poem--I have two leaf/snow blowing neighbors who drive me nuts--will just have to hum, I guess!

Love the comparison between the leaf blower and the rakes. I think the same thing about snow blowers vs. shovels. The latter are so much more peaceful and don't disrupt the beauty of the snow. Thanks for putting it into such lovely words!
