weather broke

winter snapped
like an old branch
a bird tried to sit on
maybe wind kicked it
a cat licked it
or a dog dragged it
cause the stick made it’s way
down the bank
got into the river
and floated away

part of me
must have gone along
for the ride
cause I feel the change
right here
deep inside

Jack, I have enjoyed looking around here for a little while. I especially like this poem...great style. It reminds me of Ted Kooser. I will be visiting again. Thanks for coming over to OMM. It is always good to meet new people/poets.
