Poetic Novena, Day IX

foggy morning
smells loamy
vision measured by yards


a foggy morning
vision measured by yards
sme smells loamy

ghost drivers ahead
shadowed buildings huddle
next d together for warmth

next day — intense clear sky
all the light in the world
has entered my room
Line inserted post-facto

a welcome uninvited guest
and my heart is racing
towards the day
Completed Postcard now available. Includes an authentic photograph of a Bolivian tornado! And only 14 seconds down-load time (my current standard).
Technically, this would be the last in the "Novena" series, if I were observing the discipline for the traditional nine days. This was a discipline entered into with Elsie while she is on mission trip to Bolivia. She will return Sunday. The discipline, and the "novena" appelation will end on the same day. So - nine plus two. What do you call a discipline that lasts eleven days? Don't have the latin to coin a term.
