Sea Smoke

Mike Powers
Sea smoke
Ephemeral
Rises o'er the waters
On a January morning...
The icy breath of a frozen river.
On this midwinter day in Maine,
Cold gray mists hang 'twixt blues
Floating... spectral...
Sea smoke.

    Nice. My favorite line..."The icy breath of a frozen river" very descriptive, I find that most rivers are "alive".
