Open door
Step outside
Walk up steps
Look left
Look right
Clouds grey up above
There's only rain
On dew soaked grass
Down the street
I follow feet
Around the corner
To the farmers field
The view is green
Where I look
It's peaceful here
I'm feeling good
In the distance
Echoes heard
Moving on
Time for home
Dog barks
Cock crows
The towers humming
For mobile phones
The birds chirping
Squirrel feeds
The stillness
Of the flowering trees
A distant drone
That turns to roar
A car drives by
Off to work
The marching grind
Of foot to floor
Stopping for breath
I'm at my door

Each morning will bring us more wonder SC, as mine do every day.

Thanks GF
Hi crow , )) we can all have our routines , but sometimes they can feel mundane abs boring can’t they . Nature can make things feel a bit brighter tho . A nice writing 🙂
Nahhhh. This is not a poem about the mundane. More about looking beyond it. As ever, you're right, nature does do us the best
Ok 🙂 I understand . It’s good to look beyond that . Sometimes when I’m sad my day can feel that little bit brighter , just by seeing a bird ))
Good write SC.
I was gonna write an unprintable poem called 'Everyday I'm gonna sing!' Arrgghhh, it's too horrific and terrifying to publish. lol.
Be daring Orchi! You only live once

What a great poem Saxon! I felt as if it were really me going through your morning routine. I'm glad you feel at peace when connected with the outdoors. May you have many more walks to come!
Everyday my friend.
You did a great job with this poem! I admire how you gave the reader great imagery
Thanks Sofia
I walk or cycle every morning around my quiet neighbourhood and your poem is very much like my morning jaunts. It is most enjoyable outside in the fresh air. Might see a neighbour walking the dog or someone else out for a jog. Your poem is just right! So nice.
Thanks Roz. You can't beat an early morning walk or jog
It does the heart and soul good to get out and breathe in life. 😉
That it most certainly does AP
a good conversational poem, lovely lyrics, with an uplifting poetic voice. (It's peaceful here, I'm feeling good) Some clear imagery we can all relate to. My fave words are: "The stillness Of the flowering trees" Lovely lines with a steady rhythm.
