Notes About The Poem

 Written by inspiration of Joanna Daniel's contest Write a tercet about nature or love. 9 Syllables per line as per How Many Syllables site. 06/24/2025 corrected 06/25/26

Morning Comes and Quickly Goes

Taking the dog out for a short walk
On the ground and in trees birds I spy
All the time to God my Savior talk

Then the mockingbird called from the tree
A crow's caw was his short, sweet white lie
As morn's dew clung to spider's web free.

I then was 'neath oak's shadows that sway
Morn's light spread damp dew's diamonds awry
Daylight has awakened, thanked God, prays   

As those clouds drift 'pon summer morn's start
Barn swallows weave patterns in the sky
Those bees 'mong purple cone flowers dart

Now a whip-poor-will sings light away
Thinking of you my eyes tear, I sigh
Then clear sunset ends another day 

I'm thankful for these precious moments,
Each step that I take before I die
Sunshine, rain, surviving these last months
