for blog action day on october 15, 2010, i will post 15 water poems in 15 hours.

here goes the first one:

brilliant short tendrils
come out of a night
full of noises and
dripping and
busy spiders
gleaming in the first
sun that yawns
its way
past barely open pods of
rainbow orchids,
preparing to meander on the ground,
up a tree
through dead leaves
towards a light
that is just too far away.
— look! a beetle.
brown, green and blue
its trembling wings.
