Winter Sun - Not Haiku or Dirty, but a "Quickie" [Poem]

Rate: 7 Flag

 

 

wrapped within the husk of fall,

cradled in clouds

ponderous and feathered,

a metallic horizon spreads

into the haze of dawn.

 

drifting on glass,

fluttering wings vibrate

past muted reflections,

that render us still.

 

echoes of mountains

too distant to hear

recede into the white silence

of morning.

 

currents shift

no time passing

as the day stretches

like clay

into the winter sun.

 

 

(co-written with my partner while drifting on a sailboat!)

"a metallic horizon spreads
into the haze of dawn."
Nice line. Some people only read haiku here because they are easy and quick to read :-)
I'm a big fan of the poem and I love yours :)
