The Real American Classic

 Another product of the weekly theme series for the word “Destination.”

Gold standard 

Fused with partial sunlight

Sneaking through the dense foliage 

Of trees in full bloom.

The shade,

Patchwork as it is,

meets with the swaying

of the trees

from a noncommittal wind.

The sound of an unknown

creature-

Critter or Magnificent Beast

rustles the path.

All appears

as if we have found

the hub

of the great wheel,

and we

are witness

to its mighty spin.

Here.

Now.

Destination Take 1

I’m trying something new for May. I’m taking weekly themes and writing to them. Here is one of the pieces I worked at whole exploring the idea of “Destination.”

Slow, rambling river. 

Flashes of gentle rapids;

A brief flash of white.
