My Ole' Rockin' Chair

Last nights' rain swiftly drained away
Fog is today's remnant
Thick as pea soup and silver shrouded
Oceans now a descendant

The roosters sing in sweet delight
The Doves coo resounding
The fog comes softly closer still 
Crickets sing rejoicing

Dampness saturates roof and porch
Moistens the cushions there
All is wet even the cat's fur
And my ole' rocking chair

I love your imagery here, Sara. So was it really fog at your place this recently? You sure wrote a great picture of it.

Sara; I think this is a very nice poem. It is very relaxing to read. I always wanted a rocking chair, never got one, maybe now that I'm old - I can get it. I think I deserve it. I am writing again. Now I don't have to move. I can stay here. good luck in the contest...... Lucilla
