Painting by Rick Mobbsthunder opens the sky

petals of puce and ochre

fall among the trees

 

and into the wind-bound waves

petals gathering together

like color to like color

 

drift like sea foam

or algae bloom

across the sky and sea

 

storm clouds border

like a garden fence

thunder petals fall

 

listen

 

Pamela Olson, 7/5/08

 

This poem was inspired

by an early morning thunder storm

and Rick Mobbs’ painting, “Harbor-Lights”.
