California Sky Storm over! Gray sky opening. California sky deep blue With startling white clouds Floating from here to infinity. Hills burnt brown with countless Days of year-round sunshine Now alive with velvet-like Green growth brought to Life by the kiss of heavens tears. Rolling hills with wind rippled Undergrowth born anew by Liquid touch As off in the distance Far mile upon mile Ragged mountains range with Snowy white crowns Leaving one to wonder If cloud topped Or snow covered. Haze of the city washed Clean by wind and rain Giving vision, So far as the Eye can see With crystal clarity. Storm over! Gray sky opening. ©December 20, 2011 / Mark M. Lichterman

Bravo! "California Sky" is an amazing poem that flows beautifully and makes this reader want to return to the state I love! Mark, I think this is the best poem you have ever written, but then again I haven't seen everything you have written. Your words make me lonely for San Diego. A fabulous write!
