Notes About The Poem

Airborne Beast

Today, our sun shone neath a haze
that blocked its rays.
Views disappeared;
the air looked weird.

The weather forecast sounded great;
blue skies, clear fate.
Stead, we were shroud
inside a cloud!

But, then I heard, as the news broke,
wildfires spread smoke
from West to East-
an airborne beast!
