Darren White Poet Rhyme

Outside My Window - Collaboration With Chris Green

The tree next to my window
Waves with its leaves all day
As if it thinks I'm lonely
Or does it want to play?

Its branches create shadows
That dance across the room
I wonder if it notices
My smile full in bloom

The small birds living in it
Sing music to its dance
From dawn to dusk I listen
Smile at their bird-romance

And then I see the butterflies
With colors bright and true
Reds and greens and violets
Mixed in with shades of blue

Don't think my bed is boring
I never feel depressed
For I just need to look outside
To know that I am blessed

Lisa Ricci July 20, 2017 at 4:30 AM Afternoon Darren. Morning Chris. This is lovely. I can almost visualize who wrote what stanza and expression. I'm on the fence of the title. However wonderful poetry and expression is wonderful poetry and expression. May everyone be blessed as so eloquently stated with the ending. Have a wonderful day. Wonderful work entirely. - s m i l e -- Darren White July 20, 2017 at 8:58 AM Thanks my dear friend <3 :)
