Carrie Richards Poet Senryu

Morning Rituals

Waiting anxiously,
Old Red hovers by the door…
Mother Nature calls

The dew on the grass 
is soaking my slippered feet…
I drink in the news

Rising from my cup,
white steam fogs up my glasses….
Sun breaks through the dawn

A neighbor jogging,
waves with enthusiasm….
I step on the scales

A song from upstairs,
off key, yet operatic….
I can hear his mood

Wafting up the stairs,
I send some encouragement….
Crisp bacon sizzles
