Poet’s corner: The Clearest Blues

The Clearest Blues

Dee Rusin, Kenai

 

 

The clearest blues

Many hues

Filled with streaks of white

Joined together

Marshmallow puffs

Forming photos

Made of fluff

Pastel lines of purple and pink

Darker stripes of grey

Form a mural

Angelic drawn

Sculpted figures by

Angry gods

Rainbows on the way

To span the grandest of the skies

Only in Alaska

More in Life

Small bites of indulgence

These gochujang-braised chicken wings are best enjoyed as a side dish to seasoned vegetables.

The decision to locate the borough seat in or near Tustumena was termed by the Cheechako as “perhaps one of the most surprising incidents at the meeting.”
