The color of today
White and gray
Only a little blue.
Waves tumble and play
Frolic in West wind where
White caps splash the skin
Of turbulent Lake Michigan.
White swans have gone
Black cormorants wing south in flocks—
On such a day
A tern tilts on airstreams
From north and east.
Sandpipers skitter along the pier
Picking up tiny bits
That’s the way it is
On this September day.

Love ya!
