Good morning people… sippy the coffee. Smell the world.
Lost in the morning rise serenade
Of bird song and the smell of damp earth
lilting through the opening windows
Teases at my bare legs in a cool shiver
Squirrels squirreling around in mad scamp
Sending the cat on a wild spree window to window
Desperate and hopeful for a beheading
Spring rising with no winter betrayal
LIcking the air in a wave of green and bloom
Unseasonal temperatures caress the skin
Calling out for early blossom arrivals
And the tempt to garden sooner than later
It’s only March and betrayal will come
Frost will have one more go on your blooms
Convertibles ride down the main drag and
Bicyclists hug the margins with intention
Joggers take their neighborhoods block by block
Dogs walk their people with nose to grass
Butts get sniffed, neighbors connect,
Talk is about global warming and weather weirdness
And gee I sure hope this doesn’t mean a hot summer
But damn it sure is nice this a.m. so enjoy it neighbor
