I wrote this one a few Columbus Day Weekends ago. It popped into my head when I saw the prompt this week.

Designing
I spent the morning
in front of a computer
designing a TeacherWeb page
and if I turned my head just a little
I could see the sun
designing a mosaic
on the fall leaves.
Now, in this caramel afternoon
I’m sitting on a beach
with that same sun
painting shadows
in all the little pockets
of the sand.
I watch the waves
rush toward high tide
crocheting an intricate doily
on the shore
and with a yellow pencil
I design a poem.

Crocheting an intricate doily on the shore - what great imagery. I'm there on the beach with you!
Funny, I was particularly touched by the same lines as meryl:
crocheting an intricate doily
on the shore
Such a picture you've painted with words :)
Lovely
Yes, the "crocheted doily" is hard to beat but the yellow penciled poem would be hard to read!
What an absolutely perfect response to the prompt!
Perfection! love the images, the feel you have created here. Fabulous piece.
All the images are beautifully vivid and I love the way they connect. Fantastic poem!
What a lovely picture this paints for me.
Love the images!
'caramel afternoons' and 'yellow pencils'..sounds like a dreamland..a hoilday in the head at least.Jae :)
o precise and lovely!
(Except I meant SO precise and lovely, but: "oh! precise and lovely" also works)
I can relate to this - designing things for work, admiring the designs of nature, and then designing a poem for myself - to share with other like-minded people. Thanks.
what a lovely day - even the webpage part :)
What's with the title and highlighted words?
