Lifting the Fog

Listening, waiting, watching
Intently, wondering 
Focused, not daring to move
The little robin waits
Immobile, watching the gardener
Nothing stops his merry chirp
Going to enjoy breakfast

The fog of early morning
Heated  by the watery sun thins,
eating is a priority for robins short life

Fog of wondering is lifted
Only turned soil will supply worms
Gardener gets up early to provide

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/17/2014 11:55:00 PM Seren, this was an adorable poem. I placed lower the poems with little or no punctuation. I want to do my next contest something to do with punctuation because I am noticing many poets who are not using it, and maybe it's just me, but it is something I want to see more of! Congrats in my contest. You did the theme in a creative way.

Emer Capate Date: 7/4/2014 7:53:00 AM though "ROBIN" is not familiar here in the Philippines, your well defined scenario paints a picture in my mind... emer..keep writing Seren Login to Reply Seren Roberts Date: 7/4/2014 8:22:00 PM Lovely pretty bird, puts a smile on most peoples faces. But can be a little fighter if another robin appears that isnt his mate...Seren
