Notes About The Poem

The Writer

Cobalt clouds banked like fluffy snow
Hang in the still quiet morn
Wait for the sun to arise
Stir hungry nature just born

One lone swallow swoops high against
the cloud laden gray sky.
While the Mockingbirds vindictively
chase earthbound bye-bye.

The old poetess out on the porch
Lingers a few minutes
Jotting another quick line
Loves nature; inspired by it

There is a coolness that feels great
It will pass around eight
Each moment is precious, hours scarce
The clock ticks down one's fate

I have a hard time convincing myself, that someone with your talent has a problem finding inspiration. Sitting on a porch and watching nature would seem to be an endless source of inspiration. I really like your poem Mrs Sara and respect your talent immensely.

Daniel, Thanks for the kind review..I do get in a slump sometimes..I guess it could be a slightly depressed feeling that overcomes as most people do have that happen from time to time..Sara
