Winter Walk

Floating in the river, there are Chunks and bits of ice, Lazily meandering, Their journey imprecise. The water’s gray, the sky is blue; A smokestack bellows white. An early morning winter walk Such eyeings do invite. The promenade belongs to me; Manhattan’s yet to stir. The neighborhood is mine alone; The pigeons would concur.

very cute ending with the pigeons in concurrence. What a sweet poem. I am so glad I 'm not back east though. You would find me always inside!!!

Would you stop and get me a cup of coffee and a jelly doughnut next time? :)

I enjoyed taking a winter walk with you, Ilene, so different than it would be here in the country, stumbling down our gravel road. But my morning walks have all been in the early hours before humans begin to stir. You see more wildlife that way.

Such vivid imagery Ilene i can see this in my minds eye - so lovely to see the sights when others sleep - hope you fed the pigeons too! Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
