Monday’s Memories: Gentle Sounds

Morning rain has marooned me at home

A brisk walk delayed, but never alone

Drinking coffee, another cup please

Addicted to caffeine with such ease

The early morning darkness

Stands ready in its stillness

The window is cracked open, just a bit

Hearing marvelous sounds, makes a hit

Pausing to listen and begin to write

Sounds of pleasure, being so right

Falling droplets of rain earn a trip down

Splashes on the deck, a relaxing sound

Song birds croon from atop tall trees

Sounding splendid, joyous, and free

Wet roads, close by, signal more

Amplifying car tires, ready to roar

An approaching plane flies overhead

Traveling on to Rickenbacker instead

A pair of geese flies through the sky

Their unique greeting says good-bye

My pen scratches delicately away

Listening to ink-filled words today

Simply enjoying an outlook from outside

Bringing life’s gentle sounds to me inside

  Thank you Susan. Morning is also my favorite time of the day to be writing from. I am definitely a morning person.

This was a delight to read, Richard. I miss enjoying nature for it being too cold to be outdoors! 😢 Your poem reminded me how nice nature is, even if through an open window. 🙂

  Thanks Jim. I do most of my writing early in the morning so the setting often brings reflective moments. Hope your week has been a good one.

    I’d love to write in the morning, but right now it just does not fit my schedule. Maybe when I retire…

  Jim, I appreciate your comment. Since nearly all of my writing happens in the early morning, there are plenty of ways to appreciate the serenity in my writing.
