Caveat: Poem #812 “Pastoral”

ㅁ
The rain will take a pause,
a surging tide will rise,
and thus the dawn's chill cause
unfolds to draw my eyes.

Two seagulls squat below
upon the dock's damp wood,
their wings their feathers throw:
a raucous talk is good.

Across the water, clouds
embrace the looming trees:
a hillside's worth, like shrouds
of purple filigrees.

The sky collects its light
then, tossing motes of white.

– a sonnet in iambic trimeter.
