Ohio,

when you let your eyes defocus,

could be described as an amalgamation of grays, greens,

and cool browns.

A common sense of damp leaves, ticks,

and venison.  

Away,

on the stretch of road between-

Alberqurque and El Paso, let your eyes relax once more,

to find a new palate,

of warm browns and pink earth.

Towered by the blue of a sky

that holds sunlight. Only then,

does one gets a small taste

of the new world

they are bordering on.

Hi you all, haven't visited this website in about two years. It makes me so happy to see the community still beautiful and instrospective and thriving as ever. Love from US (this site is UK based right?)!

I think this is brilliant. Love the palates of colours seen out of focus and the common sense of things. Also the tower of sky that holds the sun. Great. Wasn't sure how the title connected to it, but that could just be me! :)

It's always nice to welcome back old friends, and this is a cracker of a poem to return with - it's our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day!  Please do share/retweet if you enjoy it too.

Note to author - I've found several similar images in the public domain, so I'm assuming this is one of those, or your own image?  If you could just confirm, or pop on an attribution if not.  Many thanks!
