Inspired by online poetry class with John Sibley Williams.
______________
Living flames of cypresses
leap upward as evergreen branches
swirl like burning driftwood.
Even Vincent’s baby blue
skies curl with playful energy
trying to escape lemon peel moon,
which already took a bite from cotton
candy cloud floating above wave
of distant mesa’s high water.
Saffron grasses dance freely in
summer breeze while eyes of
wildflowers and juniper berries
look on with a childlike joy.
