A Stroll On the Path

pleasantly chilly morning - patio is inviting! walking through the narrow path close to my house, soaking sunlight...feels heart-warming after a snowy harsh winter. browned Leaves sprawling on both sides of the pathway, waiting to return to the earth...as we do...soil wet and muddy. a yellow breast Warbler bravely approaches me - as if inviting to have a polite engaging  conversation. I enjoy mornings with birds, bees and butterflies. Never before noticed each and every bird has charming patterns on their wings - as if they want to showcase their beauty in a pageant. stroll peaceful in sun tranquil path strewed with brown leaves friendly warbler meets slowly my path was leading me to the direction of a river bank...find more spring-birds on my way. robin and oriole are busy building their intricate nests...looked at the chartreuse sky and spotted a returning flock of geese. it's almost Spring - the season we are anxiously looking forward to...nature awakens the poet in us. rebirth of beauty nature reawakening rejuvenation March 19, 2021 Springtime Haibun Poetry Contest Sponsor: M.L.
