Purely Visual

in with
en plein air
a low cloud
fog shroud..
incandescent light
transparent
                 timeless
observed
evolved;
the art of light
in hazy tones
elusive
         phenomena
in paint
          unfold

This is so lovely, Brian. I love the placement of incandescent/tansparent.. I am quite enjoying the online course at the University of Pennsylvania on Modern and Contemporary poetry and we spent a good week on the imagists. :) And I smiled when we studied, In a metro at the Station by Pound. You'd already shared it on Soup. This week is the beat poets and I'm looking forward to "Language poetry" as I've been curious about the movement. Hope you are well.
