A Patch of Blue-Haiku
A patch of blue rides
Over draperies of mist
Cold river warm air
7,
Riding the Rich Tuesday AM
7,
Through my windshield
Magical mist
Blankets the river
On the left
To the right
Sits the Moon
Fresh peach
Full to bursting
Perched between two peaks
A turn in the road
Leads the mist across my path
and tucks the moon
behind the mountain
Sentinel conifers
Clad in snow
Guard the verge
