Beautiful Morning Is Here..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

a salad of sounds
mix in the trees and the garden

birds chirp, fountain flows,
wind chimes, leaves falling

a grasshopper hops from fern
to fern

the black crow lands on a
coconut palm

hear and earthworm squirm
ducks wade on the nearby river

in the kitchen an egg is beaten
the flame heats olive oil on the pan

sunny side up, white porcelain plate,
spoon and fork beside each other

brewed coffee fumes, a symphony
of smiles and cheers.
