Counting my Blessings

Scroll down for Weekly Birds, My World,
Today's Flowers and SkyWatch.



Tonight I feel a little down
so just to lessen my gathering frown
I started thinking of things I treasure
that bring me hope and joy and pleasure.

I do like bacon
and I do like eggs
I like great horses
with four stout legs
Sun on a pond
and stars in the sky
a flock of parrots
passing by



A little daisy
in the grass
and shadows
in a looking glass

Tiny tots twittering
as they play
and teenagers
frittering time away

An old man
sitting on a bench
tar newly laid
the steam and the stench

The tide roaring in
with foaming fetlocks
a streamlet gurgling
over gleaming wet rocks

Cows chewing cud
in paddocks of green
and drifting sand
where no footstep has been

Glorious sunsets
and grey winter morns
shooting stars
and bright crisp dawns.



Thre is a lot more where that came from, if any
one is interested, I may post more.

  4. That is lyrical. I can hear Carrie Underwood or Kelly Pickler singing your poem. I really like it even though I don't eat bacon LOL
