Good Morning

Kauai sunrise from the Homesteads 2018

SUNRISE

sunrise
all yellow
and pink

bird cries
my eyes
flutter
and blink

cows
meander
down to
the stream

Not sure
I want
to wake
from this
dream.

Happy Good Friday.  I hope it is a poetry day for you.  I wrote this poem  when I looked out my window and saw the cows meandering over the hill.  The egrets had left their perch in the top of the mango tree to travel with them.  I know it is going to be a good day, even though there are predictions of rain this whole Easter weekend.  It did strike me how many of my poems start with a small observation--usually about the weather.  What is the weather like at your place?  Can you write a poem today about a small observation you make?  Have fun writing.

Right now an opportunity appears, make the best of it.

Fairy Wings

There are fairies in my garden,
and I even have the proof.
I stopped to pick a flower
and then I heard a p o o f.

There beneath the flower--
the strangest of things,
a tiny, little fairy
had left her fairy wings. 


   If you find fairy wings in your garden, you get to make a wish.  What would you wish for?  Can you write a poem about wishes, or making a wish?  Have fun writing.

You have the power to make this an amazing day.
