The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

A Mackerel Sky

A mackerel sky,
striated ripples above,
silver grey stripes
and rain on the way.

So flashes the school,
bright sides in unison,
there in the deep,
echoes in the sky.



Line count: 8
