As Clouds Break Forth In Whispered Breath

As clouds break forth in whispered breath blood colors creep amid the trees cold aftermath of icy death this crinkling touch, this crushing seize Blood colors creep amid the trees in stain of plenty left to spoil this crinkling touch, this crushing seize this wretchedness of clouds and foil In stain of plenty left to spoil cold aftermath of icy death this wretchedness of clouds and foil as clouds break forth in whispered breath ©10/1/2019 Poet’s October Pantoum Cash Prize Poetry Contest William Kekaula
