Expanding Your Perspective

Lights... Rewrite for Splashpool

Smears of neon, glistening light
streak across my blurry sight
Swiftly the wipers push aside
the colored raindrops come to ride

High flying geese in their vees
Trees in brightly colored leaves
The crack of dawn, I see it come
and Summer seems to be all done

Motor sounds and tires shussssh
driving through the puddled slush
Pale yellow light from the sun
I think that Autumn has finally come

this sounds like a bough on strings..i agree with Rosi the meter sounds perfect..

just a wee bit of a suggestion you may give a thought for changing

Thin yellow light from the sun
change to
Silken beams of the Sun...

S

Might try in perfect vees and light from fading sun and see if it sounds better to you. But it all depends on how it's read..........stan

Gee,

I love the feel of the poem, my only nit pick is with line 3 of Stanza 1, 'Shadowed wipers,' it does'nt fit some how, about just saying ' Shadows wipe away,' or 'Shadows clear'.

love lou
