Brand New Day I wake unto a brand new day, Though ‘nearly slept it all away. I pour myself some fresh coffee, My one true friend won’t deny me. With its aroma, warm and sweet, I somehow feel less incomplete; Looking to the porch, and the swing Never sat in to welcome Spring. Eyes roam from there, out to the lawn, (Counting yesterdays come and gone); In its sad state of disrepair, Realizing I’m almost there. The brand new car I only drive For work or food, scarcely alive… The lonely street, all but forsaken, My tribute to the road less taken. I close the window, and the shade— Let shadow and silence pervade The very essence of a room More comforting when pent with gloom. Still, in a dark, forgotten nook Pouring myself through some eBook; I know this day was meant for more, But just can’t open up that door. Michael Anderson 3/21/2015 |

Seems to me you have at least cracked that door with your somewhat lively poem this beautiful spring day . . . Here it is a beautiful day at least. First stanza, last line need looking at. Fifth stanza, last line the same. |

Yeah, it's a beautiful day here too, Jer. Just trying to talk myself into going out and enjoying it... a lot easier said than done for someone like me.  Michael |
