A Morning's Play

DATE: 27th June, 2022. POEM TITLE: A Morning’s Play In a misty morning simmer, where droplets run along blades of grasses in limber to a game of ‘who grows bigger’ until a splatter rings a song, a brief play date gone wrong. Pearls on taro leaves form ripples, upon the water's face, rolling off like dimes and nickels, as they bask in their clear flippers, overlooking the country gnome, “pitter-patter” they roam. One eases it’s way out in orbs, waving goodbye to friends, translucent; it fully absorbs the warm air as the body soars along with the winds of July, so long, fellow ally. With the sun now driving it’s flares, weeping flower heads rise, nature awakes and dries it’s tears, a new day presents new affairs, another chance of a surprise, like play dates of the skies.
