Yoo Hoo - Is Anyone Home

YOO HOO! IS ANYONE HOME!

Look up from your tablet ---

Neighboring trees
are tapping, ringing,
asking for sugar.

They just want to say:
“Howdy! Good Morning!”

They shake their leaves
with big wide grins.

Almost too much
to take in the a.m.!

And you notice,
like a childhood dream,
the whole wide world
is peeking in.
 
You throw open a door
to the rushing feet
of a brisk wind,

your guest so forward,
it turns your cheeks red.

Yet,  you welcome
the gesture of warmth,

nevertheless,
grabbing your blanket,

and a piping hot
cup of strong Kona.

Looking down once again
at warm and brisk words,

that steam up spectacles
peeking through
a tablet’s window pane,
wondering if I can be seen,
my nouns and verbs smiling at you.

Now that is what I call multicultural co-empathic communication! (Somehow it sounds more lovely the way you say it.) Thx, too, for spinning through my way this morning.

And I smile back! Is 'Kona' a type of coffee or something else? Great write, Kim.

Thank you, Chris! Sometimes, we get so lost in writing, we forget to look up and see it is day! :)
