Howard Kerr Poet Tercet

Rambing On Wharf

Whirling  saline mists taunt my nose on quest,
dark green head, yellow bill mallard toe dip,
pink pastel cloud oe’r urban quay strewn guest

Fellow ambler’s balmy glee in mild gust,
golden stream  wild eddy from frothy lip,
rapt red sunshine loiter, splintered street dust

Andrea Dietrich July 15, 2026 at 6:47 PM Great imagery, Howard! If this was for the contest, I think the sponsor wanted at least 5 verses?? But if not, this is fantastic as is! Howard Kerr July 15, 2026 at 10:26 PM Why thankk you, Andrea. These tercets were’nt earmarked for any contest as such. I value your review. Howard
