The Tangerine Sky

Some poems seem to write

themselves;

I just move the pen.

Others are like lumps

of clay;

they refuse to be molded;

they need moisture and time.

This one is like

a robin that just learned

to use its wings.

It heads west, on a

gentle breeze, into

a tangerine sky.

Here is a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry from my latest book, Sleep Always Calls. It is available on Amazon. The latest video I did is a poetry reading at the Clear Lake Public Library.
