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
A delightful play with words. Thoroughly enjoyable.

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…
