Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

"six Days of Vacation

My plants sit on the windowsill, some  
grow tall some stay small...
They feather the skyline with dark green
leaves and small ones that believe...
All three sit for a view of suburban tree
line, no other window here looks like mine...
From this sight I could dream and write...
Even with the noise of the day my words 
seem soft and light...
Trucks and cars race to their work of place...
The little bugs down there run with their briefcase...
Ah a nice vacation week to just watch and see...
But another six days will pass, and those plants 
will be watching me!!

Carolyn Devonshire August 24, 2010 at 7:54 AM I like the way you are able to commune with nature from your windows. It's almost as if you can ignore "the little bugs" as you enjoy your vacation. Got a laugh out of the last line, thinking the plans will be watching you scurry about when you return to work. Enjoy your vacation, Michael! Love, Carolyn

Wilma Neels August 24, 2010 at 7:22 AM I love the two last line, indicating the end of your vacation and then the plants will be watching you on your way to work.. Almost home time for me, just 10 min to go.. :) luv Wilma
