A Pretend Trip to Palouse

The NaPoWriMo prompt is to relax with a Skeltonic.

The Poem-a-Day prompt is to write a city poem.

Over at A to Z Challenge we’re reminded that this is a challenge and to Never Give Up! The Janus word is nonplussed.
It can mean so surprised and confused that one is unsure how to react or not disconcerted, unperturbed.

A Skewed View

completely nonplussed
this trip to Palouse is a bust
everything covered in dust
and the haunt cancelled, I trust
curse this wanderlust
but if I adjust
my view just a touch
to the rolling hills of lush green and rust
swirling and diving in natural flux
the sun piercing the clouds makes the dust
in a gust
sparkle like stardust
