| Palm trees along the drive |
over the driveway.
Sun turns their trunks
to bones in bright white light.
Shadows make
lacy patterns
along the road.
Come journey
down the path
discover the hook
at the end.
Hear chickens
scurrying
in the bushes.
A rooster crows.
A surprise awaits
in the quiet calm
at the very end
find this poem.
Happy First Day of March. This is going to be a great month. I have so many friends who have birthdays in March.
The first week in March is National Write a Letter of Appreciation Day. What things do you appreciate? What people do you appreciate? What are you grateful for?
Two,
Four,
Six,
Eight,
Who do I appreciate?
You, you, you.
Oh, yes, I do.
Can you try writing your own appreciation poem today?
Thank you for reading my blog. You mean the world to me.
Happy poetry.
One day you will know this: when you work at a poem, all the heavens and their hosts bend close, rejoicing that another human has found the workplace and pathway of the poem. Sandford Lyne
Thanks for the appreciation cheer! I loved the image of palm trees lining the road.
ReplyDeleteI really do appreciate you. You give so much to me and others.
DeleteI love the photo and the poem. I especially like "Sun turns their trunks to bones in bright white light." Lovely turn of phrase. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rosi.
DeleteThat line didn't start that way, which is why it is good to sit with a poem for a while and to edit. Thank you for reinforcing that practice.
