Grounded
An air vent of a tramp steamer that’s seen better days, it stands on spindly legs -- whimsical, nonchalant. Its colour is mottled yellow, and its attitude is cocky for a thing with one leg stuck in a huge red can. It won’t be pushed around, though — it’s grounded. Bill Waters First published in a book called The Visual in Verse: An Ekphrastic Poets’ Invitational in 2015 by Grounds For Sculpture as a part of their annual ekphrastic poetry contest. Known primarily for his Japanese-style micropoetry, Bill Waters also writes ekphrastic poetry, found verse, book spine poetry, light verse, and all manner of short prose. More of his writing can be found at his blog Bill Waters ~~ Haiku (http://bit.ly/145diBy) and his “blog-within-a-blog” Bill Waters ~~ NOT Haiku (http://bit.ly/1NZSyRo). Bill lives in Pennington, New Jersey, U.S.A., with his wife and three cats.
