The red-winged black-bird
Stooped atop the poplar tree
Confidently sways

Too many memories
Moments formed my mind model
Obscured by minutiae

a single moment,
Forcefully taken,
to recenter...

An empty cup? No
Overflowing with raindrops...
Tipping point cometh.

Darkened cloud canvas
Sun-beam dances underneath
Thanks to unseen mirror

Turbulent waters
Preened feathers and fast footwork
Serenity intact

Fog bands obstruct view
Clearings reveal my path
In broken fragments

Mist rolls off the pond
Single column rising up
Flattened from above

Pervasive stillness
Periwinkle sky, ringed with
Pink and purple clouds

Pervasive stillness
kaleidoscopic nature
Rudely interrupted

Different point of view
Thrilled to have a change like this
Though little difference

For motivation
Celebration is in order
Halfway thru this book

His obnoxiousness
Is not a problem for me
That is his own problem

Despite distractions
My job is to retain calm
How else shall I be?

I have a minute
no better time than right now
To write poetry

Corn flies crave swatting
One: not worth the energy
Dozens test my calm
