Love of Nature
In the middle
of the pinkest bush
a single wine-red rose
reflects the sun
something Van Gogh or Monet
would've thought to paint
especially with a final spurt of color
as a bluebird streaks by.

Michael Estabrook, a small press poet since the 1980s, says he is "always striving for greater clarity and concision and for rendering language more succinct, precise, accessible and appealing--a Sisyphean adventure for sure." Now retired after 40 years, Michael is enjoying having more time to write and to work outdoors.

I believe you've used all the primary colors, Michael! Love shades of red, yellow and blue. Yes, surely the Masters of brush would have loved these images.

Same comment as posted yesterday--It's all about light. You have also painted a beautiful picture with black and white words and spaces that generate color in my mind.
