Slowly turning kaleidoscopes
Dawn scrambled colors on grated clouds
Purples hang under shades of blues
Over orange laid on yellow
Grass seeds framed a naked tree
Dancing in the amber light
Contrail splits the lavender sky
Kaleidoscopic Blues
Category: Poetry
Frozen Dawn
Dawn couldn’t color the sky
Frozen from white into shades of gray
Sun painted Sandias red between blues
Jupiter jumped over the moon
Sunsets Will Make Due
When the days are short
And time becomes oh so scarce
Sunsets will make due
Melting
My pillar is not yours
Your pillar is not mine
Our pillars are not theirs
Their pillar is not ours
They want to make their pillar ours
Long Shadows
Leaves leave long shadows
Sun shining on cold concrete
Anticipation
Fight Night
Cranes cackling up a storm.
As the cranes fly in they start cackling like crazy after they land. I don’t know if they are cursing at each other or calling each other names, because they started to fight.
A Craneku
Jumping up and down
Wings spread insults said they fight
Part of the routine
Peril Waits On Wind
Contrail hangs below
Whispy ghosts that dance and play
Peril waits on winds
Takes Two To Timku
Cranes specks in the sky
Freezing cottonwoods shiver
Dawn spreads light’s colors
Sun sets behind wire
Orange glow fades out of reach
Thoughts gone asunder

2 Cormorants Flying Into The Sun
Two Cormorants flew
Into the sun at sunset
Turned them into gold
Flying To The Moon
A crane flew to the moon one night
A silhouette against the cool light
Icarus flew close to the sun
He burned his wings, fell back to earth
The crane asked the broken man
“Why oh why are you such a fool? Men are not meant to fly!
Why oh why try to fly to the sun when by and by…”
The crane said with a heavy sigh
“…you know that you will surely die!”
