onto the grass
struggling
through cracked concrete
Grey are the buildings
and the street
the people clutching umbrellas
Grey coats the world -
cold as rock -
except the rain-slick green at my feet
and the sky patched blue
above your houseA J Ponder
Another startlingly busy week - it seems like every moment is flying before the next - so best wishes to everyone for the week - and why not check in on the final posts for Poetry month at an Aotearoa Affair?
A.J. Ponder's work is also available through Rona Gallery, Amazon, and good Wellington bookstores
I really enjoyed this, Alicia--at one level a great picture of our midwinter weather, but lifting to something more at the end with the "blue//above your house." Great stuff.:)
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia,
ReplyDeleteThis poem totally expresses my feelings toward the weather this last past week! Grey...and I think that is what gets to us isn't it...the colour of grey...and the little flashes of colour that keep us going! Thank you Have a bright blue weekend!
