Off-white mist rising on the ridge <br />Hurrying into the emptiness between trees <br />Lost in a thick stroke of green curlicues <br />Then splattered by a sudden breeze <br />Like silver droplets scattered by a frisky dog <br />Shaking off unwanted cold rain <br />Glistening like playful carmine dots on a <br />Mantle of matted threads of emeralds <br />A sudden inspiration, a shimmer of yellow birds <br />Explodes like a roman candle in sparkling hues <br />Filling the cerulean sky with tiny glittering flakes <br />The scene, now in orderly chaos and panic <br />Strewing golden leaves and bronzen twigs <br />Blotting over an increasing spread <br />A canvas speckled with lusty colors <br />Of an artist’s special view of <br />A morning by the ridge<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pointillist-morning/
