After lying in a fetal-like position most of the early morning,
I take advantage of the daylight
to protect my feet
and get out of bed.
A glance at the clock and I know
that there is barely time.
And yet I read the news,
watch the sky,
revisit yesterday's writing,
and wonder how long those pinkish-purple blossoms will last.
It could rain.
I know
there isn't much time
Not a good idea to hurry poems.

They bloom in their time!!Love the comparison!!
The things that do not last have special charm. Beautiful write!
beautiful!
Pat - thank you for your example of being able to write something pretty nearly every day!
Natalia - so many things don't last all that long, even beautiful...thank you
polona - this is out across the street...looks different now after the rain
steve - i can imagine. a few weeks ago cherries just blossomed here overnight and it was all over in 3 or 4 days. the apples are better off though the weather is anything but fabulous these days...
