SHARING A POEM I WROTE

I write poetry and realize that I have not shared much of it on my blog.  So on this rainy day here this one came back into my memory.  I hope you all enjoy reading it, and my photo as well.



WALK BETWEEN STORMS

Rivulets of rain carve wrinkles
in the earth; feathered clouds
depleted of energy for now
glide listlessly overhead.

Worms, expelled from sodden soil,
form mysterious script  on the path,
native code talkers writing
alien communication.

Liquid diamonds quiver on a strand
 of spider silk, a bracelet adorning
the uplifted arm of a red bud tree
swaying to a rumba beat.

Rain-pasted leaves craft
a collage of natural hues
alongside the river running russet
with torn flesh from mountains.

Along the worn path miniature craters
comprise a moonscape
as wind wafts diminutive swells
across scattered puddles.

The fragrance of moist grass
is a heady aroma,
an aide memoire of
renewal and growth.

Returning home as rain begins again
I gaze through the icy window,
witness the writing of water
across it, and covet its clarity.
