over blue snow.

  1. Beautiful. I bought a large box of crayons for the first time in years, and thought, “This will help with more colors in my poems.” Such wonderful words: azure, jade, orange, rose, blue…I love “North” too.

  2. there are days, then, there are days…

    “mid-day sunset”
    seemingly, just as brief as one’s latter years, nothing ever being long enough, nor warm enough, in the winter of our being.

    and yet, there we are, in a period of time, when we feel there’s more to be done

    “azure to jade, orange, rose”
    on this i pondered, will my twilight(the way it was at my dawning and especially to be in my evening) be as the kaleidoscope

    “blue snow”
    finality, when all is said and done, the mourning comes…

    i didn’t care much for the word (over), so i simply ignored it

    looking to a greater depth, dft, what i hadn’t liked at first, i, now, love.

    “i dream more and more, of late, it seems”: by me

  3. sun has set ~
    waves bring ruby
    light ashore

    dark sky ~
    a little red in
    the dark sea ~

    night again ~
    astral vastness echoes
    ocean breeze ~

    moonlit beach ~
    lovers wade the winds
    into the stars ~

  4. dylan,
    i peruse the archives now and then, found this
    poem today. this is just a great piece! thought
    you should know.
    ed

    filling
    the peach tree’s emptiness…
    autumn sunset

  5. my words from comments past seem to echo through the winding pathway of my mind…
    referring to “my enjoying others’ comments almost equally as well as the ‘haiku of the day’ “. after reading ed’s comment, i ponder his usage of “peruse”.

    reading the archives carefully or reading the archives quickly.
    to mind came a third meaning, however i wonder if another word would have been more suitable, conceivably “browse”; but i could be wrong–
