Morning Musings
Late Fee
Like an unpaid bill
I’ll dig deep to pay
The empty page
is a final notice
Enticement
Multi-flora rose hovers
like an overprotective mother
It fills the yard with a thorny love
with a fragrance that belies
its encroachment
Unconditional Love
I love the red cardinal
but not its behavior
Like a child in tantrum
it throws itself
against my window reflection
I call time out
Morning Poet
I gather ingredients
before I cook
Like a humming bird, I flit
from one untried recipe
to tools of the trade
as if I was building a nest

What a busy and productive morning you’ve had. I like them all but esp love the last one.

I love your small poems!! Laughing at the antics of the cardinal, how you perform in the kitchen.

I eat half a granola bar
for breakfast come every morning
Dividing the whole with my wife
Coffee’s fresh from the drip machine
about only thing I can smell
There’s no taste, Covid-ruined too

These wee observations are so lovely! I had a giggle at the cardinal one, because I have often observed some wild bird behavior when walking through my neighborhood.

Each of these is wonderful, Colleen. they can easily stand alone or join together.
