Bruce Niedt and I were just named runners up in the Poetic Asides Somonka challenge, for the second of two collaborative efforts posted here.
Details of winners and top 10 are here.
All the entries — all a delight to read — can be found here.
I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')
These poems are works in progress and may be updated without notice. Nevertheless copyright applies to all writings here and all photos (which are either my own or used with permission).

Overcast sky.
No moon lights my way
to find you.
How can I discern
the path to your door?

I will leave
a candle in the window,
the latch open.
I will sing a night song
and have tea ready.

Listen!
A magpie warbles
at my gate.
I send you the song
across distance.

When I hear it
I will fashion clouds
to its music.
When the weather turns
they will sail to you.
