Poet Soup, being a collection of whatever catches my eye and appreciation, and here, to share with you. A very personal sort of broth, and what most pleases and probably, hopefully, teaches me as well. And likely those, like most of us, less formally published but none the less, appreciated.

A quiet shadow falls over the lake
The wing of the heron fades
His hoarse mutter falls away …
