Oh, Well

That first sip of coffee on a Sunday morn, Contentment covers me like a warm blanket. All is quiet but the occasional drip from the kitchen faucet. If only this peaceful feeling would stay the whole day through. I watch out the window in hopes of seeing her. It has been over a month since her last visit. She should have brought the newest addition to her family for viewing by now. The doe and her offspring are what make the view from my deck spectacular, instead of just nice. The peace did not last long this morning Quiet air has now been shattered by singing canaries and squawking budgies. Oh, well! it was lovely while it lasted.

Awww, nice. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who dislikes "birdsong". (You might like to peek at my "Wooden Soul" regarding my take on birdsong.) I like your gentle flow here. Well done, Francine. :))

What a shame the doe didn't bring her fawn by for a "viewing," Francine. Usually the birds add a melodious quality to mornings, but I'm laughing at the thought of "squawking budgies." We don't have these birds here, but I might be tempted to lure them somewhere else if they interrupted a serene moment like this. Beautiful write, Francine! Love, Carolyn

I don't care much for free verse - I just need some rhythm and rhyme but I do like the picture your poem paints. Maybe I am starting to change my view. Mike
