Titus Bus



I'm not really here (because I'm there) but Titus has a Poetry Bus prompt this week and it made me write a little something. Titus' prompt is here and writing a response was quite a surprise because so far on our trip I've written mainly diary notes and travel blog stuff. I haven't even wanted to write poetry... or think about it hardly (though I have read a bit of Edna St. Vincent Millay and I've squabbled a bit with a book of Billy Collins...). My little Bus poem is right here:


Kingfisher


I keep looking for you in the wild

But it is a long hunt

And getting tougher all the time


I would see your flash of blue

Your jolly brightness

It might change everything
