Notes About The Poem

For Tim - With a Wink

Early morning hours:
 Rain bans the sun
Mist drives out knowledge
    and invites random
        different reflections
            ideas, hypotheses
                  suppositions

                               Little critters
                    or birds, squirrels
              lawnmowerman
       some friends
   with persisting
 incredibly annoying
loyal persuasion, 
 do not give up
     Until you
            frustrated
                       grab your book,
                                       flee to the library:

                       silence
                       solitude, but still 
                       sneakily
                       with love 
                       and a smile

This is excellent expression formatting and layout. All of it. A wonderful tribute for Tim. Wonderful entirely and completely. PS: the birds dear penguin never give up.
