A Morning Tapestry--By Elizabeth Howard--United States

A Morning Tapestry

a smudge of gnats
beclouds the morning sky . . .
to paint the joy my soul craves
I write sunshine, a wren singing,
a violet by the wayside

  1. Dear Elizabeth,
    Like the way this poem begins, "a smudge of gnats" quite unique and bids me 'read on.
    Thank you,
    Michael

  2. An ingenious crossover, Elizabeth, "...I write sunshine..." is the kind of imaginative creation that animates the poetry I like to read, thanks.
