JUDE POKORNY REPRODUCTIONS
"GATHERING"
Storm coming in,
Clouds dark and
Heavy.
Watched the patterns
Group
Around the
Moon
Dark, Rainy
Ending.
JP
"ECLIPSE"
Not something I usually
Do.
Sitting out on the
Deck watching.
I couldn't let it
Go.
JP
"ORANGE COLORED SKY #1"
Never ceases to
Amaze.
No matter the number of
Times.
Photographs don't
Express,
Paintings can't
Depict
The brilliance of
your first
Orange Colored
Sky!
JP
"ORANGE COLORED SKY #2"
Can't leave without a
Quick sketch.
Love the color
Combinations.
It'll all come
Together
In a few hours.
It's always about the
Sky,
never worried about
What's in the
Foreground.
JP
"WISTFUL"
Let me stop you right
Here.
Not saying I love
Winter
More than
Summer.
Just sayin' that
94 degrees for
Two weeks
Is about all this body
Can take
Without painting a
Snow scene.
JP
"MURMURATION"
Swooping and swarming,
Filling the sky with
Rythmic undulations.
Beautiful to watch.
Disappearing in
Unison
Into the trees.
A moment's rest.
Then, with no visible
Signal,
They explode skyward.
On to the next
Destination.
JP
"LIFTING"
Before dawn,
When all is
Still,
The morning fog
Covers the ground like
Cotton.
A hush falls over the
Land.
Words like "quiet"
And "peaceful" slip past
My lips.
Humble feeling
Comes over me.
Another day
Begins.
JP
"THE OTHER TRAIL"
Not one to be cowed by
Distance,
Even though the
Pathway stretched
Unending.
Took a chance to find its
Purpose.
Watched for signs of
Reason
For this never ending, dusty
Route.
Nothing in sight for
Miles.
A quick step to the
Side
To watch the mail truck
Pass.
JP
"HAVE YOU EVER SEEN..."
Last bit of light
Washing off the field.
Waiting for the rush
That comes with the
Wind.
Rain, drenching thirsty
Fields.
Deep breath,
Catching the clean
Smell,
Coming down on a
Sunny Day!!!
JP
"QUITTING TIME"
Calling the shots,
That's what it's doing;
The weather!
Always about the
Weather.
Well, some of us don't
Agree
Informed is good enough for
Me.
Throw caution to the
Wind,
Take a few chances,
Feel the
Rush!
JP
"GO THE DISTANCE"
Coming back from a winding
Path.
Stopped to gather this
Sky.
Soaked it up with no
Camera.
Remembering bits of the
Landscape.
Hoped to capture the
Vastness I saw.
Wondering all the time
What was going on
Way out there.
