Interesting work Gary, the stanza to stanza movement of verses is something
I'm working on a lot myself at the moment.
As far as I can see it is something that has been missing from linked verse
work to date - certainly in poetry derived from the Japanese forms - thanks
mainly to the reign of terror inflicted by the deaf mutes of the HSA. Not
forgetting the feng shui brigade.
Their star is waning thank God. Not that they'll ever notice.

white RV's and logging trucks
make poor neighbors on muddy roads
streaks of brown race across the surface
old wipers blur the road
*
cormorants spread their wings
to air dry January's wet sun
near the river gulls huddle against the storm
eagles watch the river
*
the comfort of electric blankets
disappears power failure
gumbo's glow stays with me through the night
a loon dives the trout pond
*
steelhead shake off another hook
before we round the first bend
an eagle feeds
