James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

My Friends Outside

Two Red Pines outside my
Window stand ready every day

Bristling with long needles
And runkled cones, still young

My first sound upon awakening
…..The sweet seeee---sawww
Of the Red Winged Blackbird,
Migrating home

Soon, the swamp I navigate daily 
On my walk will fill with
Feathered friends-

All of us excited by emerging
Cattails….

Comforted, together
