Worm upon tongue

enjoying the small things

This morning's fog,
heavy with attitude-
blanketed shapeless silhouettes.

Yet, it couldn't
hold back nature's songs.

I knew lush lawns
hide within,
and upon them
Robin's would be dancing
a Lindy.

Just as the heat of coffee
wooed my tongue, a
Robin broke through the fog
worm upon its tongue,
and I smiled.

I could picture it in my head... :) I really like this poem, it shows how much nature can bring about a change in us, no matter how small... Great work. ^_^

such a gentle poem with a strong lesson. Love the image of a robin on a green lawn doing a "Lindy"

Enjoying the little things...I like that. "Just as the heat of coffee/wooed my tongue"--I really love this idea. Too often we get caught up in the big things of the world (the global, heavy things) that we forget to give praise to that which is small and beautiful. Well written piece.

After reading the title I couldn't imagine where this one was headed, quirky & fun write, ha, love the Lindy reference, most enjoyed this one.

What a great combination of light and dark imagery. And I love how you speak about the fog as if its a person...with attitude. Great piece.

Thank you. One of the things I enjoy doing is personifying the inanimate. I've seen so many do this and have always enjoyed what I've read. Thank you Kristin for taking the time to read this.

Beautiful Melissa. You have not lost your touch. This poem sings to me, sweet melodies of the approaching spring.
