boulder churned
water sloshes to mist,
sunlit white --
its milky glow rounds

POEM: Pale Skies

bleached in bright sunshine --
thin, wispy white clouds
are barely seen 
amid the washed out skies

some summer day -- 
sending one running 
for sunglasses
to avoid a blinding headache

it seems the world 
might fade into a 
tabula rasa, or
blanch anemically

POEM: Newly Evergreen [PoMo Day 16 – Tanka]

under spring skies,
the evergreen - thick
with new needles -
echoes the tune sung
by hardwood neighbors
