Howling northerly.

Growling dogs chasing tailwinds.

Supplicating trees.

One morning sunrise delayed.

Nature’s force being displayed.

Vivid imagery, Kacy, you make this stormy landscape so easy to enter. Now you have inspired me, although my morning view sheds a different tone:

Doves perched side-by-side
cooing in the morning sun
as the moon fades-
in the distant horizon.
Do they wait for its return?

thank you for your reply, but mostly for sharing that cool cooing scene
it seems the board is suddenly aglow with the short forms, must be the full moon and the promise of spring

Nicely done. I hope we do not have too many more of these this Spring.
