THK 24: Nature Poem
Nature’s View
A cormorant is resting on
high tension wires above the slack
water. Which tide? It doesn’t matter.

Zettabyte
A wild rambling rose of a woman,
with a smoky smile and jaunty hips.
Tan as a summer's day.
Brisk, bracing, brusque.
Like a March wind.
Cool air pours off a sheer blue glacier.
Ice lipped steel bergs
Way down under...
Pieces of the sky
scattered over the glassy waters of a lake.
Mirror world lake reflected.
A reflex action.
A world dopplegangered.
One twin clear and sure.
The other rippled by winds of fate and chance.
Nice poem. The words used are appropriate.
