A Random Reflection From the Car

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I love your pictures!

And I have to tell you, when I got to that last wave pic...

I felt some words stirring (I'm also a poet) and I ran off to write them down...

That kind of connection doesn't happen to me very often.

Thank you for these pics, and for my inspiration!

5. I'll let you know if I post it...

I just wrote it yesterday, and it needs work still...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. OK! I've decided this poem is ready for prime time...

I suspect that never in the history of the photo group has there ever been a poem! But tonight, there is...

It honors the last wave picture, the one of the standing wave. It's the next to the last picture...

Enjoy, I hope!

Wave

stands on edge
caught in time
frozen yet
fluid

the perfect
upstanding curve

ready to throw itself
down

as we hold our breath

waiting

for that
curling
edge

spray
foaming
back

the wild hair
of the woman

in your bed
opening
herself

in that

perfect
curve.
