promontory
sun lounging
lizard stands rock
still above blue green
deep
fissure
where upswept pink
cyclamen petals quiver
between rocks
slit filled with pine needles
Some lovely near rhymes here: fissure/quiver; still/slit filled. Beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Duncan--your eye is rock steady, as usual.
ReplyDeleteYou know Lorine Niedeckder, right?
ReplyDeleteTom,
DeleteI first became acquainted with Lorine's poetry many years ago and have never stopped admiring her work--lucky me, right? BTW, here's my tribute to one of her most poignant and well-known poems. https://vazambam.blogspot.gr/2009/01/depression-in-ft-atkinson-wisconsin.html
