Meandering Memoirs

The shimmering dawn as twilight ends,
brings promising illusions of future trends.
Unfulfilled lost  hopes of yesterday,
allayed by the birds in their inimitable way.

Singing away to their sweet,  hearts content,
so cheery and hope filled with no sad lament..
Crystal raindrops form  patterns on my window pane,
how do they defy gravity and still remain.

Till additional drops try to hold on in vain,
succomb to gravity, flow down the pane.
An adventurous young squirrel crosses the lawn,
from a nearby park where it was born.

Flashing its tail like a signal sign,
seeking the cones from a neighboring pine.
A prickly hedgehog  asleep under some logs,
awaken from sleep by the barking of dogs.

And as I peer through the raindrops what do I see,
my friend little robin seeking worms neath’ a tree.
Come rain hail or shine he will always appear,
his comforting presence all through the year.

    Wow-you pen this so well, your positive attitude shows clearly here. The determination from the animals also shows, the squirrel wants nuts, and the robin wants worms.

    Wonderfully done,
    Jeff.

    How very delightful! This is a poignant romp through nature. Aren't robins just "cool?" They have and are a beautiful song indeed. Great piece here and good luck in the competition! Peace.

    Beautiful write. Lots of imagery in this. It makes me think of nature and it seemed to have a sentimental feeling to it, like a love for nature. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.
