JC Brul Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Black Beauty

dawdling 'neath moonlight
her effulgent eyes expand~
fishermen's tide gauge 


6 April 2022

Notes:In New England it is said that you can tell the time of day from the size of a cat's pupils. A cat's pupils will be nearly closed at low tide. The pupils will be opened at high tide.(www.poetbay.com)
