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
