Inspired by Daniel Henry Rodgers poem "Dayspring"
The Physical World Around Me- Poetry Contest- Sponsored by Eve Roper
i sip tea, looking through my backyard window wiping my eyes from this morning's wake up the rose bush holds still, just one black on white sits the crow on the fence the sun's face still hidden from altostratus clouds sunrays peek through onto mountains afar dewdrops slowly begin to sparkle the morning chirping crickets last forage after another sip, I see the sun heard chirps fade as the tweets volume rises mostly evaporated the grass stands rich, and tall i grimace, thinking, time to cut the lawn again in the kitchen the phone on the wall rings from the cake tray i steal the last cookie on the sixth ring, i answered- hello? recording says- landscapers for hire the crow has flown, the sun still shines I close the shade and wait the front doorbell rings, the landscapers here the vinyl's spin- "september morn" and "how sweet it is"
