I am impressed because this has gotten me writing. Good job.
The Sun Rises
The cats need fed, the dog a walk
On the wild side
The chickens have yet to lay an egg
And, I scramble in the moment
Cilantro has gone to seed while
Pumpkins control the ground
A pepper here, a bean there
Sprouts galore, everywhere
The sun rises bronze and
Sets in amber waves
It all matters not what comes or goes
The world will end in three days.
Poetry manuscript scattered about
Novel started, stopped and lost
Inspiration sweats and drips
In puddles on the parched earth
The deck beckons, as does the bed
Instead, knees and fingernails caked
Cool red Georgia clay soothes the fever
Yet the willing soul bakes
The sun rises bronze and
Sets in amber waves
It all matters not what comes or goes
The world will end in three days.
