Sunday Muse - Poem, My Day

"A distant future" 
photography by Raluca Caragea 

Some Days 

Some days I wish I were tall 
For then I would feel complete 
I'd hang pictures on the wall 
Like others not a great feat 

Ordinary things like I'd do 
Marvel at pictures I find 
Seaside cottages greet you 
People feasting come to mind 

Bridges over brooks I'd walk 
Count turtles there underneath 
Toss some bread and watch them flock 
Walk up the hill sunset see 

Grab my face off the table  
Some day go when I'm able

    I would love to walk across a bridge over a brook full of turtles! Good one, Jim!

    Sounds familiar, Jim! I’m only 5’ 5” and my husband is 6’ 5”, although I use a stepladder to hang pictures! I love the final lines.

    I enjoyed the rhyming flow. I saw some turtles yesterday basking on a rock in the sun. I counted two.

    That last couplet...just a marvelous, devastating turn.

    Nice rhythm, almost lilting sing-along. I like it!

    How fun it would be Dr Jim, to be back to the old normal for a start.The virus is causing untold misery personally to each one directly. Of more concern it tore apart the clock-work ways and system of the economic health of world commerce which eventually will adversely affect everyone! We have not seen the worse yet!

    A yearning I can understand, and you make me see it too.
