When you get up early
In the morning everything
Is quiet and peaceful. It’s
A good time for planning
Your day and meditating
As you watch the sun rise
In the east in all its
Glory.
Tag: watch
Every Cat
Every cat needs attention
Even though they act
Standoffish. They will
Sit and stare at you for
Minutes at a time and
When you reach down
To pet them they swat
At you. But when they
Want something they’ll
Rub against your leg
And purr.
Guardians of the Gate
The guardians stand at the
Wrought iron gate to make
Sure no unwanted people
Try to tear down this
Harmonious lifestyle that
Exists within this gated
Community. The guards are
Like soldiers defending their
Way of Life.
Falling
A sparrow falls
Through
Dawn-air-rain-
Looking hard,
Searching for
A perch.
New Friend
Most days I would sit on
My front porch and watch
The world go by. One day a
Stray dog came in the yard
And sniffed around and
Eventually came closer to me.
Timidly it came up on the
Front porch and approached
Me to be petted, I assumed.
But when it saw a black glove
I wore on my hand, it quickly
jumped off the porch.
Wanting to make friends with
The dog, I showed him me
Taking off the black glove
And he came back to the
Porch and let me pet him.
Bubbles
On a sunny, spring
Day you might look
Outside and see
Groups of bubbles
Floating all around
The sky. They glisten
In rainbow colors in
The bright sunshine.
They are enjoyed by
Many, especially the
Children. Where
They come from is
A mystery.
The Sea
I love the sea at night.
It is darkness transformed
Into into a mysterious liquid.
The moonlight sparkles
On the waves and is hypnotic
To look at. It occurs to a
Person that the sea is where
We came from.
Breeze
Feel the cool breeze on
Your neck on a brisk
Spring day. Watch the
Trees wave at you when
You take a walk. Birds
Ride the the breeze and
Watch us from high up.
You wish you could fly.
Happiness
Happiness soars like
The wind blows the
Hair of people. Flags
Flap vigorously in
The town square
For all to look at
While holding on
To their hats. They
Are happy.
Let’s Have Fun
Skip down the sidewalk.
Make sure your neighbors
See you doing it.
Observe Red Rubber Nose
Day. Tell corny jokes on
Purpose. Tell serious people
It takes fewer muscles to
Smile than it does to
Frown. Feed a squirrel.
