The sounds of skylarks and curlews
break the stillness of the morning
The sensory architect already at work
A fading moon compromises
giving way to the sun dawning
Mist suspended over water
waiting for warmth to dissipate
The rocks are bathed clean
Gulls squawking in salty air
A traveling east wind invigorates
On a white capped speckled sea
Fisher boats already far from view
Night time now held to ransom
for the day is center stage
adorned in its morning hue

Good Wednesday morning!
Here is a funny dog cartoon for you. Have a great day!
In reponse to Linda G Hill’s One Liner Wednesday
Early morning light
Streaks through the curtain
Another day dawning
That’s all that is certain
Sarah lies in her bed
Remembering what occurred
The events of the previous night
Have left her somewhat disturbed
“What happened?” she thought
Everything was going so great
Andrew was delightful
Considering it was a blind date
They had gone to a restaurant
For an early dinner and talk
Then a movie to follow
And a stroll on the boardwalk
Andrew had become romantic
And leaned in to kiss
She reciprocated the action
It was a moment of bliss
It lasted just a moment
And then he doubled over in pain
What was the problem?
She could not ascertain
After some endless moments
Sarah realized what was amiss
He’d eaten the lamb curry
It wasn’t the kiss
The hospital emergency room
Was where they eventually parted
They likely wouldn’t meet again
Dating is not for the faint hearted

Good Morning!
I hope this brings a smile to you face on this Hump Day. Do you agree with this statement?
