Foggy Arc

this mystic arc
above the bridge
fogged rims
from river’s edge 
alluring eyes
to wind down
the fragmented
edges and plunge 
upon its icy depths 

my eyes 
cast off
like shadows 
towards
an ashen sky 
instead 

(Bus scribbles)

One could only imagine what kind of poetry would you have created if only you were sitting in your office writing and not just scribbling in a bus! Marvelous! Hugs xxx

What a kind thing to say Demetrios...i love when nature inspires little scribbles out of me...being in an office with access to a computer would definitely inspire much more writing, as i would have more time...not to mention it is hard to write on my phone to post the scribbles... have a great day... hugs :)

This was the most unique thing i had ever seen.. the way the fog lifted above the river forming an arc across the bridge...i did think as i was going under it and looking at the river and all the ice chunks and fog that it was a relief that i was not going to have to cross the bridge again once i had the kids on board... hugs :)

Bus scribbles -- mighty fine! Looking forward to the next edition now... or perhaps bus doodles. (Scribble them in Massachusetts and call them Yankee Doodles). Smiles, Gershon

An ashen sky day here in Maryland as well today--excellent imagery in tones of shadows--brilliantly expressed, Sandy.

Never. For one it’s against the law for two I adore my precious cargo way to much and am a very cautious driver I do however sit empty waiting sometimes up to an hour for pick up time which can get boring in a bus alone :)

The scene, cold and dreary, damp and foggy, nature painting with a wintry brush sounds so much more beautiful when described by your pen my friend. Simply divine.

Thank you so much Chris...it was an amazing thing to see, the way the fog lifted off both sides of the river and came up over the bridge forming an arc above it...something i have never seen before and wanted to share... hugs
