Motive
Misty morning haze
Smoky skyline hues
Greyscale water colours
Sun floods milky
In smoky shades
Light losing tint
Dreary dawning
Ignominious feel
Runny colours fade
Weary spectacle
This ominous aura
No birds sing
Smoky persistence
Like old-time
Pestilence lingering
Rain rain come again
Clear the smoky haze
Let the children play!
There will be time
For non-smoky days
No haze and bronchitis
To each
A motive
To be festive
