we weigh the start of the day by what’s around.
the water‘a calm.
our boat in port moves in soft breaths.
few gulls and people i see.
room for all; there is no hurry.
mild sounds of the day, no worry.
poetry - jack sender - all of my life
we weigh the start of the day by what’s around.
the water‘a calm.
our boat in port moves in soft breaths.
few gulls and people i see.
room for all; there is no hurry.
mild sounds of the day, no worry.
Bowling on the wide lanes
We’ve sprinkles on the windows panes.
I’m looking and still
an hour later quiet nothings.
One quick car passed, then nothing.
gee gee our veighbor began her walk.
She’s a skinny seventy eight or so,
that’s nothing.
This could be a record breaking nothing day.
After ten now and remains silent, saw one dog walker.
I’ll think a bit
but there is nothing to say.
look out where you are, where you’re going.
see the dawn is holding in a dash of red
call it a heavenly shade of morning
calling in a whisper, Good day, Sunny blue,
come in and fill the sky.
you can do.
start the day as you know how.
we’ll be running now with you.
Fierce sunshine starts us together,
And will you look at the bright, light blue, unblemished heaven above.
Give citizens a chance to wake and we’ll roll together.
Mayhem distorts
Diligence sorts
We‘ve order today, lets keep it.
Part your hair, Roy.
here’s a surprise to wake up to.
it looks like winter.
entirely white out there.
the deepest drifts of the season.
overnight it came down.
muffling , white soundproofing.
the sky is covered winter gray.
no blue today.
Poetry you can hold and read again.
Is where you need it.
Copy it, print it.
See it, repeat it.
the second month finished.
slipped in is the third.
call the day number one again.
regard the year as underway.
cutting into the second decade of the new millennium.
before long we’ll be halfway there
into it. deeply. jazzlike.
The house across the street
has a light beige colored concrete driveway
with a morning glaze of snow covering it.
Our drive is black asphalt;
dry with no snow on it.
Just painting the scene for you.
Finding something good about wintertime
on this sunny side of the street.
