The Morning

July 14, 2022

Sitting on the porch

With a steaming mug of coffee

In one hand

And my favorite novel

In the other

I listen to the mockingbirds sing

And the crickets chanting their melodies

To the soft marshland breeze

That carries falling leaves

And tufts of velvety cotton 

Over the murky waters

Where the cattails grow

And the frogs warble away

This is my favorite place to be

I got the inspiration for this poem by the lovely film ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’. I would recommend it for those who enjoy sentimental movies!
