the shoemaker and his tools


by night, a poet:
haiku striker,
tagger with a foreign totem.

his hands are stained
saddle-blazing brown,
the colour of a bareback rider
when new in town
.

  3. I love your rhyme.
    You always create new and unusual colors.
    Saddle-blaze brown is just so fitting in this piece.

    As always you are a joy to read.
