"Thank You" Instead of "Please"A Poem by PeteEvery morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself. - Thoreaui went where i sought not to go sticking my hand in the murky river, stirring the water and splashing some over my head because i was hotcawing my displeasures with the crows clucking unease with the chickens hunting with the hawk
gnawing felled wood with the beavers walking with the turkeys as i stuck out my bobbing neck shaking a tambourine with the woodpeckers and rubbing a nightly guiro with the crickets scurrying about nervously with squirrels and chipmunks i let the changing colors of early, fall leaves paint the canvas of my soul as i inhaled cool, crisp, clean, autumn air wearing fine french fashion as the acorn beret hearing and feeling their released crunch 'neath my swollen, aging feet i buzzed sweet honey with the bees hugging and looking up to the trees i prayed with the mantises down upon my knees and that has made all the difference needing not reasons or explanations but simply able to say, "thank you" instead of, "please" © 2024 PeteAuthor's Note
