Starting the day by counting ten things that open my heart leaves me awash in Gratitude, a perfect morning prayer.
Thank you for:
Pink-tinged sunrises, transforming trees and silhouettes
Eagle’s mating cries between wings that steal the sky
Heron – still as stone – takes flight, a squawking winged dinosaur
Red-shafted Flickers dropping madrona berries on my roof,
and each happy Plunk, landing like a new idea
My golden retriever’s Sigh, soft as her silken Fur
Fresh-ground, steaming-hot Island Coffee with milk and two sugars
Words, and finding just the right one
Windows – my eyes into this island’s Soul
and Doors – God’s open arms into His

I love your list – as list and as poem.
Nicely written

Very lovely.
I can’t do poetry. I can rhyme & I can write prose, but poetry is often abstract and spacey – I can’t do that. I like poetry I can picture. This was lovely.
I enjoyed this piece very much. Some excellent thoughts and ideas you’ve played here…
Red-shafted Flickers dropping madrona berries on my roof,
and each happy Plunk, landing like a new idea
&
and Doors – God’s open arms into His
both these grabbed me!
Thank you for reading and commenting on my poetry, I appreciate that very much.
