Abstract, Detail, Olympus OM-2, Poetry
by Patrick Jennings

A matter of scale

Mineral Mound, Mammoth Geyser Basin, Yello
A twig
Or a tree
Mountain
Or a mound

Were I to climb out
Upon this leafless bough
Would I be
Of Lilliputian dimension

Or just a man
In a barren land
Not without its charms
Of colour and form

Mineral Mound
Mammoth Geyser Basin
Yellowstone National Park
Wyoming, United States of America
