Doris Culverhouse Poet Free verse

Strolling To the Post Box

Strolling along looking out for new nature
Bluebirds nest along the way
Orange mushrooms have sprung to life
Smoke bomb mushrooms have shed their spores
Anticipation is the thrill and surprise
The marigolds have reseeded to new life
My late plantings of dill have sprouted
Now if the frost doesn't kill them too soon
Oh yes the post box, a new sample package
A Country magazine, and a bill yuck!
Tomorrow again anticipation

Robert Pettit October 6, 2012 at 12:17 AM My mailbox is right outside my front door; so I don't have to walk a distance to retrieve my mail. This is a very descriptive write. Doris Culverhouse June 29, 2021 at 7:18 AM did they make yall put your boxes by the road? they did that in our town. so it would be easier for the postal workers.
