Partly cloudy skies

This inauspicious title is the first line of my latest Postcard Poem. This one takes 12 seconds to down-load. The very sensual image is from the drawing pad of Elsie. If that doesn't tempt you to click through, I don't know what will!

Several Postcard Poems have settled into an interesting form — three stanzas of three lines each. Today's postcard, and the bed tangles the air (from Oct. 2) are formed from inter-related haiku.

After the rush of writing a poem a day for a couple of months, I've decided to let myself ease back a bit. My current "contract with myself" is to write at least one poem a week. Inspiration or not. I've even given myself a deadline — write a poem by Wednesday of each week. So, I've met the deadline for this week.

My current plan is to return to the "poem-a-day" discipline for November. I think of it as a birthday present to myself.

By the way, I've been posting most of these as "Postcard Poems" primarily so they would have a permanent home. Blogspot's database seems slightly unreliable, so it seemed wise to store these poems elsewhere.

Click through, enjoy, then leave me a note in the comments.
