wheat-hued hill — full-bodied crow struts his stuff. low-flying robins underneath the rain’s stratum whizz by as I observe the bird’s eye view. downcast, i pedal home — auto tires glide through bile pools distilled with pollen. ornamental blossoms, pretty in cherry— fallen petals encircle the Kanzan tree. yellow-gold forsythia rises in the drizzle-dusting of midday. where sunshine’s deposed behind bleak clouds— my eyes, weary, fall behind window panes. 3/16/2021

I love the contrast in this poem Kim. You give us duality of view from the popular bird filled sky to our busy earth below. Nature on a treadmill...We all seem to be tap dancing..Are we really trying to go anywhere or is the treadmill of regularity enough? Are you so much like the birds describe? Lines 13-17 are so beautiful I want to leave my computer right now and run outside..After I read a few more of your poems of course. Beautifully written & descriptive

Your pen draws imagery like a beautiful painting. Especially the Kanzan Cherry tree.

I can see the rainy drizzle and feel the tires splash through the puddles, so evocative, your talent shines here, Kim!
