Notes About The Poem

Apricot Morning Something For Which To Be Thankful

Giant basket of apricots rising
Scattering its contents across the east
Revealing frosty dried autumn leaves
Used as mulch to make plants feast

Light ice upon the birdbath
Birds will have ice water to drink
A chilled bath this morning
Will make everything shrink

The chorus of the songbirds
Singing my favorite tunes
I love what they've orchestrated
They're my missing link

All winter there was mostly silence
Now the love birds are singing again
Thank you, God for the magic
 On You I can depend

They are indeed a connecting link between man and nature. Lovely poem, dear. Sara Kendrick August 4, 2025 at 3:37 AM Thank you, Valsa. Sometimes I get some inspiration by a short visit out on the porch. I am sure it was too cold to stay out there very long. Sara K

Reya Suri April 4, 2025 at 7:07 PM Interesting rhyme scheme! I love the analogies and the words you used. I do miss fall, though I'm glad it's almost summer. The image is beautiful, by the way! Did you take it yourself? Good work!!!! Sara Kendrick April 5, 2025 at 2:38 AM Thank you, Reya. Awesome you found it an interesting rhyme scheme and that you liked the analogies. Thanks for the visit and the kind review. No, I did not take the snapshot. It was from the internet. I tried to find a snapshot that matched up with what I saw that morning, but it is never quite the same as what I am seeing. Sara K

I appreciate the nice review of my work, and the time spent here. Sara K

Victor Buhagiar March 13, 2025 at 12:10 AM Life has its ups and downs. But as Jesus said, my burden is light. Lovely imagery. Sara Kendrick March 13, 2025 at 5:04 AM Victor, sometimes things seem heavy, but it is because we have not let Him carry the burden for us. Thanks for stopping by and the nice comment. Sara K
