A Fresh Start: Morning in the Garden

a sunbathed morning

after a night full of rain

a new day opens

Live for the Love of it,

November wine tears slowly on the glass

It’s good with mem’ries, better still alone

Its forming-falling droplets encompass

Both sweet and bitter, its burnt orange tone

Is tingling senses, oily on the tongue

November lingers, sunshine lost among

Long-legged trees is gently sipping through

Church windows, body’s rich and soul is calm     

The half-full glass of autumn waits for you

Come, take this moment, stroke it with your palm

Let all the seasoned flavorings entwine

Themselves around you, taste November wine. 

Live for the Love of it,

November 2014 Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge: Day 13

Let’s treat ourselves to sunshine, let us splurge

On childhood memories of sandaled feet

And poplar snow. Let’s satisfy this urge

For carefree innocence, the bittersweet

Taste of the topped with clover flowers noon,

Let’s savor summer, for the Harvest Moon

Is on its way. For now let’s wear short sleeves

And pin our hearts onto them, let us stay

Here, on this grass, beneath the whispering leaves,

And sip this honeyed, hot brew of a day.

We are invited, since you have inquired,

Youth’s optional, but happy smiles required.

Live for the Love of it,

Sasha A. Palmer (a.k.a. "Happy")
