WALK #54

I saw another found poem in the sense of it being inspired by William Carlos Williams' iconic poem, "The Red Wheelbarrow." I just might start a series contextualizing objects from my walks into this poem's structure. The first was "The Orange Trailer." This is the second:

THE ORANGE FIRE HYDRANT

so much depends

upon

an orange fire

hydrant

shawled by gray

mist

beside a green

vineyard

Hope's Sculpture

I was surprised

the fire

hydrant

was painted orange,

not red.

Then 

I learned how

orange symbolized

optimism.

How fitting for

a wine

country

that's been ravaged

by several

wildfires.
