Day of Passing: Beginning of Autumn




day of passing

cobalt, white and gold
rushing brushing
painting vistas

a smitch of crow
swallows ethereal colors
of summer's season

a vaporous day of passing
upon us so
lovely.

Thanks again to Steven at "The Golden Fish" for
allowing me to borrow his beautiful photo.

  1. I love your writing, truly a pleasure to read
    and that photo..you made it a painting
    A smitch of crow......now I have to go and look up smitch
    I too was stopped in the garden by the tall grass waving in the wind..surrendering

  2. I do believe it is a smitch of crow! Lovely piece, Rick, and extra lovely paired with Steven's photo. These are what I like to call "N. C. Wyeth skies".
