This Blog is dedicated to Dr. Beth Crachiolo, now the chair of the English and Theatre Department of Berea College. Beth is truly a wonderful person, and one hell of a teacher! For whatever reason, she seems to believe in my aptitude as a writer and has made it perfectly clear, on more than one occasion, that to not write would be a waste. So I am trying to do something I've never attempted before. Starting today, April 20, 2010, I will try very hard to post at least one new poem a day for 1 year. I'm sure most of them will be utter crap, but you never know when the muse might strike. Please feel free to respond to any post at anytime, I value constructive comments.

Cloud painting

white clouds turn purple at days end
the vestiges of the day's sun sprays their underbellies
deep, pale pink and dark salmon
hints of blushed roses and burnt embers
brighten darkened masses as powder blue turn cyan
farther out pale pinks, lilacs and cotton balls
the light fades
the pinks bruise deeper into blue violets
grey swallows lighter tones
as the sky puts on it's evening robe
now no colors, only contrasts
the beauty of the coming night
