Morning Glory

As some of you may know, because I talk about it all the time, I am compiling a collection of my poems about spring. Or, springish that captures a little summer as well. There are three, so far, about morning glories which flourish on our hillside. Enjoy this tasty one:



MORNING GLORIES ARE
PROLIFIC AND ADVENTUROUS

LIKE CURIOUS PUPPIES
THEY PEEK AND POKE

THEIR NOSES
AROUND

SNIFFING AND SNUFFLING
MORNING'S
FRESH DEW

EACH GLORY AWAKENING
FOR THE FIRST TIME

TRUMPETING PURE
UNADULTERATED
JOY

AT THE WONDER
OF SUCH

NEWNESS
SWEETNESS
KINDNESS

A NEW GLORY
FOR
EACH DAY

HIP HIP HURRAY!
