A "Pause for Words"
As if

My thoughts are

A spring sky of pure light

White clouds skimming higher

Than you can even imagine,

Next moment, troubled, hurly-burly

Full of sad hard rain

Manic lightning strikes,

Only the recalcitrant spared.

 

Our newest contributor: Hi, I’m H John Schaefer. I live in Hancock county. My best poems come to me at 2AM.
