White Poetry Under Blue Skies

"A Rock's-Eye View"         Photo R Allen-Sherwood 2013

Professor John White's poem continues:

Things are
what they seem
and are not
what they seem

and neither is true
or untrue
 
"Two Out of Five"   Ink, wash, pen, graphite and pencil   2013
There are islands
and forests
and mountains
and vast grey seas,
if you see it so.

There are peaks
above rolling blankets
of grey cloud,
Mount Sumeru
and Mount Hiei,
if you see it so.

And there is yourself.

If you see it so,
there are twelve small rocks
of no consequence
from Cumbria
and Aberdeenshire,
from screes
and spoil heaps
and riverbeds.
