Just starting the day off right.

Sunshine streaming in the windows.
Cup of coffee’s in my hand.
Birds are singing from the treetops;
It’s Saturday, and nothing’s planned.
Perhaps I’ll do some shopping,
Or visit an old friend.
Bake some cookies in the oven;
Got some jeans I need to mend.
But I’ll sit here a little longer;
Sip my coffee laced with cream.
Look at flowers out my window;
Take some time–
to dream.

    I admire this poem; its simplicity in form works well, telling with uncomplicated diction a good story. You have also done a good job with the rhyme scheme.

    You`ve put a good effort into this piece.

    By the way, read some of my poetry on the site; will you? I`ll be glad if you do.

    I too am drinking a cup of coffee on this Saturday morning. So it’s a bit like sharing Saturday morning coffee with friends.

    Mmmmmm…this goes great with a cup of coffee. Did I say ‘cup’? I meant pot, a pot of coffee.
