Notes About The Poem

From the Kitchen Window

The burst soapsuds dissipate.
Six doves outside my window
Enjoy their meal, congregate.
Wings whirr, head to the gingko

Baby phoebes see surroundings.
With wide mouths expose tastebuds
Hunger each day compounding!
I look, then see burst soapsuds   

So much happening outside my kitchen window view that I forget the dishwater is getting cold and chores going undone.

Howard Kerr May 19, 2026 at 9:53 PM The natural world and daily human activities are neatly portrayed in this enchanting work, Sara. It circulates in my mind. Sara Kendrick May 20, 2026 at 5:06 AM Great that it circulates in your mind and doesn't grow stale, Howard. Thanks for the visit. Sara K.

Kelly Deschler May 30, 2023 at 8:26 AM A very nice scene you set, Sara. I felt like I was right there standing by the sink next to you... I have a few bird feeders outside my kitchen window, too, and it is so easy to get distracted by such colorful visitors... Sara Kendrick May 30, 2023 at 1:38 PM I am delighted to see you reading my poems once again. I am glad that you enjoy feeding and enjoying the birds that are in your area. Thanks for the visit and nice review of my work. Sara

Valsa George May 28, 2023 at 9:40 PM Sometimes we get lost in the scenes outside. If we are in the kitchen, what is being cooked may even go burnt. It has happened to me many a time. My kitchen window opens to the backyard where birds hop and rest on the mango tree. A lovely poem Sara Sara Kendrick May 29, 2023 at 9:24 AM Valsa, Sorry that you have burned your food but good that you can enjoy the outdoors with all of nature. A mango tree in the yard is nice I am sure. We have pear, apple, and fig in the backyard/garden plus some blueberries, raspberries, and blackberry bushes but they can't all be viewed from my kitchen window. Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate the visit. Sara

Kim Rodrigues May 26, 2023 at 2:50 AM Wow! Love that you enjoy the view! Hugs ~ Kim Kim Rodrigues May 26, 2023 at 5:41 PM You were so invested. So sad if something happened. Sara Kendrick May 26, 2023 at 9:13 AM Kim, the last couple of days I have been somewhat sad because the Phoebe family I have been watching disappeared and the babies were not old enough to leave the nest. I know something went wrong with the hatchlings. Sara

Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2023 at 11:32 AM I enjoyed this poem, Sara. It's cool how you write about your daily events Sara Kendrick May 25, 2023 at 1:01 PM Thank you, Andrea, for the understanding review of my work. Sara

Tania Kitchin May 23, 2023 at 3:26 PM Sara, I enjoyed your poem, I love to watch birds from my kitchen window as well. Sara Kendrick May 24, 2023 at 4:51 AM Why, thank you, Tania. I appreciate the visit and nice review of my work. Sara

Gary Radice May 21, 2023 at 2:42 AM Hi Sara. I like how your poem moves from you concentrating on washing the dishes to momentarily being distracted and in awe of the natural world outside your window.. and then you bring the reader back again to the washing up. Your poems express your love of nature. We cannot live without nature but nature could live without us. Cheers - Gary Sara Kendrick May 21, 2023 at 3:04 AM Why, thank you, Gary. Within its (Ae Freislighe) limited framework, it is hard to write what I want to say but you read between the lines. Your presence at my page is always appreciated. Sara

Eileen Clark May 20, 2023 at 10:46 AM Nice poem, I like it. Sara Kendrick May 20, 2023 at 12:37 PM Why, thank you, Eileen. I appreciate the visit. Sara
