OVERFLOWING MY TURN

OVERFLOWING MY TURN

Coming home at night

Or early in the morning….

My turn off of Main Street

Envelopes without warning:

Lazy tendrils of ground fog

From dew-covered field

That intersection overflows

Like ice cream sauce congealed.

In the winter the same thing

Happens regularly…

A little icy in the road–

The mist flows frequently;

Traveling near that street light

I see it ground fog kissed…

At a former residence–

That I’ve also missed!

–Jonathan Caswell

SPRINGTIME DRIP

SPRINGTIME DRIP

Dripping eaves and dripping noses

Beat a soft tattoo…

Icy patches slide off rooftops

Like a loud a-choo!

Foggy heads and misty valleys

Drip, drip alike…

Make it tough to see the roadway,

Daytime or at night.

Clearing patches lead to sunlight,

Clearing of the head…

Easier to see where going

And how good’s the tread.
