AN EARLY STROLL

Michael Edwards

 

 

AN EARLY STROLL

 

I walk

slowly.

 

The grass stretches

and kisses

my feet

with dew.

 

I feel the sun,

weak

(it’s early)

on my coated back.

 

The spring

will soon

be here.

 

Somewhere

a bird sings

from a

yellow beak

pointing

at a cobalt sky.

 

Today

will be good

but first

I must return.

 

I am hungry

and breakfast

awaits.

        "Strollin' just Strollin'
        Walkin' by the riverside
        Strollin' just Strollin'
        With MY Honey I confide
        Strollin' just Strollin'
        My emotions I can't hide
        Strollin' just Strollin'
        With my HONEY ~ by my side !

        A STROLL is a walk devoid of Aim
        Objective & Destination ! I often
        Stroll (in Essex) when I'm HAPPY !

        Love the riverside setting in the
        Painting and all the nostalgia
        subsumed in the Poem ~ PERFECT

        It's now 2pm here but WE did enjoy our
        Morning Walk round the Lake (Pond !)
        and then a FULL ENGLISH then TOWN
        Saturday ~ Always ~ Mad as a Hatter Day !
        Yours BRIAN & ANGELA XOX

          Thanks for your lyrical comment Brian - pleased you enjoyed your am - we were out late last night retrieving our daughter from hospital - minor op - and taking her home, so we had a lazy morning - this afternoon busy round the house with the other eye on the rugby. Yup - I can multitask !!

        • Lorna

          Oh the perfect morning (breakfast included)...... especially if it was walking by the view in your painting!

          • Michael Edwards

            Thanks Lorna - it would be if the sun was out !!

          • rrodriguez

            Beautiful pic. The writing was like the stroll, smooth. Thanks!

            • Michael Edwards

              A gentle poem - we need a few gentle ones on this site - some great work here but it does get a tad sombre at times. thanks rr

            • Laura🌻

              Michael,
              It was soothing strolling through your poem, especially while I was admiring your beautiful painting!

              ~Laura~
