The Morning Cloudy moisture rises, criss crossed with fragmented light. The sun shines orange through the Cawtaba tree, leafless now, but for the bean pods that sway and wait. I sit at the table with folded hands and look to the window. I want to see how morning light casts shadows upon ferns and red impatience, intertwined beneath the worm holder. Winter's cold approaches and I don't care; light glares through the blinds into my squinted eyes. I want to see, but can't. So I sit in the morning sun, sheltered behind the window. I draw my legs against my chest and make a narrow canopy. It secures my head upon my knees, away from the light and shields these burning eyes. They're closed now and I see only darkness sprinkled with red.
Janie Whisenhunt's Questions:
What do you think this poem is about?
I have been told
it is too vague and as the writer, of course I know what it is about.
#2.
This concerns the line break, would you have done them differently? I think
maybe some of the lines are too long, but am not sure.
#3. I have fallen in
love with this form, but maybe I should put my efforts somewhere else?
Thanks!!!!!!
