MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Chilled Morning’

holiday mode still present
mountain air crispy and cool
mooing of country cows
foraging on roadside apples

the fresh cold morning
the fireplace still warm
the hot shower steam
the pot of freshly brewed tea

spread of sweet honey liquid
on a crusty sourdough bread
ensure the needed nutrition
for a challenge of today

the sun is out and up
the breeze is mellow
the car is full of energy
and so are we

recharged and ready
to embrace the day
in a country of
fluffy wombats

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Cold’

deep red mug of hot lemon water
inhaling the fresh aroma with each sip
missing a touch of honey

antique wooden table shows wear and tear
too many parties held around it
time to spend some money

chilly wind is picking up outside
in the land of ice and snow
the nose gets runny

listen to the sounds out the window
crickets break the sound of silence
wait for the day the sky is sunny

when new orange sunrise awakens
roos jumping in the falling snowflakes
what could be more funny
