It's Still Life

5 Sept: dVerse Cinquain

a view at sea with clouds at the horizon

Silent Sky (a cinquain poem)

So still,
the heavens wait —
a canvas drawn with hush,
its blue skin pulled across the day.
Don’t breathe.

    The economy in words to the absolute minimum and yet meaningful & evocative is a supreme art.
    Brava, M.
