An Ekphrastic poem Day 9

This one is from a photo of our backyard, found on my phone…


A New Day’s Promise 


It’s the perfect time 

for many things,

the sun just breaking 

over Mount Woodson.

A mockingbird sings

his daily score,

covering the distant freeway noise,

while our elderly cat roams the yard,

making sure everything is

as he left it the night before -

every plant, each water dish,

his outside toys.

It’s going to be a grand day,

don’t you just know it,

sitting here writing,

waiting for the rising sun to show it.
