WHAT I SEE AND DON'T

The crack of sudden thunder

escalates river’s roar

tumbling showers  

pelting

a tourist-filled boat

below majestic Niagara Falls--

a loon’s lament completes

layers of accolades in the throes

of evening twilight

a natural calling during

feasts of glory--

an eagle’s swoop returns

as a boomerang -- sculpts the sky

eyes fierce 

on a shopping trip

for little ones--.

brother and sis playing

on the beach

one will inhabit a male’s ambition

the other to create

a future for precious babies.
