Ian Marshall’s poems that accompany these photographs are from his book, Walden By Haiku.

those clouds

     how they hang

          nothing like it in paintings

dark now

     the wind still roars

          the waves still dash

paddle strike

     the surrounding woods filled

          with circling sound

a delicious evening

     the whole body

          one sense

trembling circles seek the shore

     every disturbance

          smoothed away

waves reflecting the sky

     a darker blue

          than the sky itself
