Michael Degenhardt Poet Free verse

Morning Observations

As ivy and wandering roses cling to the eastern fence
I can see, just past, the early morning sun greeting day
Such a marvelous way to bid welcome to the morning
As the scent of nature touches my senses, stimulating me

One bluebird descends from its perch seeking out breakfast
While the chirping young ones await the return with food
And I, alone with a heated cup of comfort, watch from my chair
Appreciating the balance and enjoyment of life beyond my own

Jim Wilson July 24, 2008 at 7:49 AM I enjoyed the way this gradually opens up so that the last line feels just right. I'm impressed with your ability for long lines. They remind me of sijo, which I tried years ago. Perhaps I'll give them another go.
