Notes About The Poem

painting by Elena Sereda

Through My Dormer Window

I was gently awakened by euphonic cooing of mated doves perched on aspen branches whose golden leaves rustled sweet silver songs I rushed to open my wooden dormer window and hum a greeting to their soft morning trills With hands splayed on the ancient stone sill my face welcomed the sun's auroral warmth I felt the chill of Autumn's breath biting the air and exhaled in contented sighs of appreciation for the stunning beauty of this mountain valley To paint nature's colors without dreary compromise would require a far greater artistic hand than mine While gazing from my cabin's primitive casement I descried a canvas stippled in blazing pastoral hues framed by the rustic charm of my bedroom window

Good morning, Bill and many thanks for your thoughts on these lines, but i cannot take credit for the canvas. I wish this painting was one of mine, but alas... I'm not that skilled with a brush.

Dearest Lin, a wonderful ode to the beauty of nature and the tranquility of morning rituals. The imagery is immersive, transporting me, the reader to the serene setting of your mountain valley. I love how your appreciation for the natural world shines through each carefully crafted line, evoking a sense of wonder and gratitude. I really marvel at the splendor that surrounds us. - Blessings, my dear friend, Daniel

Usually, my morning begins before daylight no matter what time I get to sleep, but not a complaint will anyone hear from me about that. I do feel a sense of wonder and gratitude when I witness the world around me waking to be greeted by songbirds. I always appreciate your gracious comments, Daniel.
