Nette Onclaud Poet Tanka

Rhinestone Light

the rising sun leans
on shoulders of mountaintops
beside a curved lake---
  roulette of bluebirds ascend
    burning tan from rhinestone light

in  late afternoon
trees shade dizzy,dizzy leaves
coiled from heated glint---
  petals gaily romp to play
    with rings of sunshine’s last twirls

Cyndi Macmillan October 29, 2012 at 1:10 PM So pretty, so perfect. Roulette. OH BRILLIANT. Will send soupie(s!!!) tonight. We're preparing for Sandy. 70-100km winds, rain AND SNOW?!? Awk! Over 70% of Ontarians are expected to lose electricity for an estimated 72 hours if the powerlines start to go. If you don't hear from me, it's cause I'm power-less. Pun? :) Love, Cyndi
