Lulled quietude, except for sudden bursting gusts,
rustling in trees like frightened animals fleeing.
Mizzle slanting in slow motion serous,
velocious oil slick clouds polluting cobalt skies.
Rusty steel redolence flaring nostrils, triggering memories.
Distant silhouettes of tall trees,rising like permanent shadows.
Fitful moods grip us in our mutable minds,
incubating ourselves for an algid unamed threat.



Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, ring out the old, ring in the new,ring out the false, ring in the true..A Lord Tennyson

Dear Phil, the threat is felt, your words have great impact.
It's as if we could not breathe deeply in the scenery you painted, thus the grip of fear. Pollution's effects described powerfully.

Love,
Margherita

velocious oil slick clouds polluting cobalt skies...

mans destruction killing nature, tainting
what is innocent, destroying lives...

You know you're in love, when you can't fall asleep,because reality is finally better than your dream~Dr.Seuss
