Morning Sights, Sounds, and In-Between
Front door
The turning key clicks
A vacuum sound as door pulled
All of nature's cold air explodes
A rooster crows
Flood of sounds
A woodpecker is feeding on a post
Silly bird, like dynamite booms
That sound is heard
Doesn't slow other birds
The doves coo
Crows caw their warning
Mockingbirds realize it's morning
Sparrows too busy eating to rue
Spring color
Spring green tender leaves
Weave a delicate quilt
Oak tree's chartreuse tassels
Offer a different gilt
Maples' tender leaves in guacamole'
Redbud leaves are in still in bud
Poplars beginning in forest green very slowly
Gingko has no show but it's no dud
In-between
The kitchen hub is busy
Breakfast prepared but simple
No time for a morning tizzy
Baked banana and date-nut bread nimble
Then I sit and rest a spell
Upon pain and trouble do not dwell
I think about God, Who loves me still
And wonder do I do His will?
