Caveat: Poem #3113 "The drive to town"

#Poetry #Nonnet #Photography #SoutheastAlaska

ㅁ
The road was coated in snow and ice.
But the still air was cold enough
that it was not slippery.
Tendrils rose from the sea.
On my drive to town,
some ravens sat
alongside
watching
things.

- a nonnet.

- a pseudo-haiku. (The "62 Pit" is an actual place-name in my town.)

Caveat: Apocalypse Heap

#Alaska #SoutheastAlaska #Photography #WeirdCarMastodon

I bought a run-down 1994 jeep last fall.

Here is a picture of the jeep in the rainy shopping center parking lot, looking toward the entrance to our gift shop.
