The World From My Front Porch

Wake up in the morning
Brew a pot of coffee
Fix me a cup
and grab a doughnut
as I go outside to sit
on my front porch

As I sit in my wicker rocking chair
drinking my coffee and eating
my chocolate doughnut
I look at what surrounds me
on this beautifully sunny day

I watch as the bee
buzzes around the flowers
on my front porch
Landing gently on each one
pollenating and making sure
the life of the flower goes on

Looking up I see
a little humming bird
sipping the sugar water
from the feeder
Such a small creation
but very beautiful indeed

I smell the air briefly
The smell of fresh cow pies
as the sun bakes it
in the heat of a summer
morning

Oh how I love taking in
all the nature that surrounds me
sitting on my front porch
It is something
that even in old age
I will continue to enjoy

    What a beautiful soothing write this is and I especially love it because it is about nature and shows us her beauty. I have never seen a hummingbird for real but I am sure it would be a wonder. Cow paddies are something I am use to. There would be nothing better than to sit out on the porch and take in all the wonders you speak about and breath in that good old air. I just love these sort of poems and you have done a marvelous job of it.

    Wonderful Job on this Julie

    Well done Julie. I love how you titled the poem: Life from my front Porch.

    It shows that you as a poet sees the world differently from everyone.

    I really enjoyed reading how you described it. Well done Poet.

    Keep penning.
