Popular Poems About the Morning

my sleeping eyes    
blossomed like lotus petals,    
at the touch of soft rays    
radiating from your endearing gaze.    
   
your smile painted a million strokes    
on my illuminated face,    
and my lips stretched into    
an inverted dreamy rainbow.    
   
your breath like minty mist    
swept across my face,    
when you whispered,    
"my love, be awake"    
   
your burlap like index    
meandered from forehead    
to my parched lips;    
feeling my scars,     ...

clouds bloomed and sprinkled
cool dew drops,
as the sun emerged in a crimson robe;
the rosy aura smudged the periphery
like kohl spreads around eyes,
environs echoed with the
mellifluous music of birds
while the velvety breeze waltzed,
intoxicated with sweet aromas

Tayassuidae Family,  Visits

it’s 3am
the Squadron’s musty scent persists

Javelinas congregate
just outside my front door

Perhaps it’s an Empath gig
natural attraction
Flora, Fauna…..Fae?

Whatever their reasons
a wee bit annoying
when I am ready to
start my day or
awaiting a
grocery delivery

Locomote

a family of five
adults strutting “ en pointe “
the young, miniatures
giving playful chase

Our early morning walk

Me for light impact exercise
Them, I assume, looking
Bugs, worms, whatever

Reminded me of a Tap Dancer
who had not yet donned
metal plates
rendering them silent taps
tapping

This morning, one adult
flew high and very quick
never knew (or seen)
a Quail could Fly like that
