The robin
stands on the new
overgrown driveway
with yellowed grass
in its beak–
he is motionless–
he looks left
he looks right
he cocks his head
he is motionless –
then takes flight
deep inside the hemlock
raindrops
splash in perfect circles
on the worn cement sidewalk

Well here is poem number 7. Today, I thought I would write a poem similar to Ezra Pound or William Carlos Williams, in the imagist style. I have read about this school of poetry for years and wanted to work more in it. I suppose there's no time like the present. Find more great poets at NaPoWriMo.
