Three Words At a Time

Quiet Sunday morning.
Tantrums of birds
In the mystery
Of magic distance.
Backyard patio cigarette
Wafts smoke through
The brisk fresh
Air, and me
Waiting to propel
Through the wooded
Green, like prophets
Hungry for salvation.

My December sweatpants;
Not to be denied.

Is there anything more "magical" than a quiet sunday morning, your poem is so visual and well done ~~

A very "woodsy" feel to this one. REminds me of Washington state. I think I heard you moved to that area? I spent me early childhood there anyway. I really like these short free verse style poems of yours. And thanks so much for placing my apt. poem. It has become one of my personal favorites since I rarely write in free verse or prose. Luv, Andrea
