Birds Sing To Morning Sun Shining Today

Birds Sing To Morning Sun Shining Today Listening to birds sing to the morn sun, brightens my day in magnificent ways. Spring and its fine songs can not be outdone, I rush to meet it with no long delays. In the distance, that great bright ball rises, bringing in warm and early cheerful rays. Each morn in turn presents new surprises, with fish flopping in the deep wooded bays. Views into Nature's beauty unsurpassed, are as sweet as grapes growing on the vine. Giving blessings for life often harassed, one can see its origins are divine. Birds sing to morning sun shining today, entice this lad to race outside to play. R.J.

It's fun to drudge up old writings and still find that you had the knack way back when. I agree with what Stephen King has said about writing ... it's like having dreams, you never really recall doing it. It just happens. I liked this line "Giving blessings for life often harassed." << I can tell that you care deeply about nature, to such that you would want to protect it. Beautifully expressed.

You may not remember doing those things or writing such a poem ~ and at 16! ~ but your notes added to your poems allows you, and your readers, to enjoy the moments with you. I'm so glad you kept your poems so you could share them, Robert.
