Good Morning
Cinnamon coffee
and a sunrise
made me love you today.
At first, I thought it was
the morning kiss
or the smell of the cherry floors,
or even the meadowlark
who sang over breakfast.
But when my naked feet
met the cobblestone ground,
I wandered to
the courtyard bench
and felt the wind
brush my face with tenderness.
You make no guarantees, world.
You owe us nothing,
yet you give what you can.
Stunning and unpredictable,
your autumn breath
filled my cup this morning
and fattened my throat
with infinity.
You’re too beautiful to ignore,
too quiet to obsess over.
Bring me a day, world,
and let me dance with you.

This one made me see you immediately. Crystal clear. I also saw myself. Nobody could ask more of a poem. You've got a little jewel in this one. | |

I have read a lot of your blog too. But this poem... it's... it's... I feel if I comment on it I will take away meaning from it! haha, in all honesty, this is beautiful. I absolutely love it. | |

Hmmm...what to say, I'm speachless it seems. Thank goodness for the generous amount of time offered through commenting. lol.
I'll be truly honest and throw away pretence and say that I know nothing of peotry, a stanza only brings to mind seinfelds George costanza. I can not analyse it in any structural or methodical way that matters, so maybe this means nothing when I say that I have loved every single piece of your poetry and thought it brilliant. And this particular piece almost made me weep, it is soo beautiful. Yet from my gloomy perspective of the world also bittersweet. For a long time I have been blind to the beauty of the world and even began to doubt it ever existed but this poem convinces me that it is still out there. Thankyou
And yes silly as it must seem to you I too (like chris) have read your entire blog back to front. In fact I believe you may have a silent fan club already building. Good luck with the novel, not that you need it. | |

Wow. Adam, this is beautiful, effortlessly it seems. I think this is one of the best poems you've ever written (that I've read, that is). | |
