Morning Run

Thrum. Thrum. Thrum. Out for a morning run. I pass the open market and see old man Crockett, his cheeks work-worn scarlet. Thrum. Thrum. Thrum. Out for a morning run. Max the cat, sits, blinking at his world through twinkling light. What is he thinking? Thrum. Thrum. Thrum. Out for a morning run. A dancing bay otter churns the bright water, playing teeter totter. Thrum. Thrum. Thrum. Out for a morning run. Suddenly I spot her Rose, fisherman’s daughter, My warm cheeks burn hotter. Thrum. Thrum. Thrum. Out for a morning run.

As we run early in the morning, so many such cute scenes greet our eyes. The rhythm and alliterative effect render a musical effect to the poem. Congratulations Linda.

Hi Victor. I never really enjoyed running. And I don't see many who are smiling as they run. ;) I hope your new year is filled with love and joy, Linda
