Summer's Morn
As the morning glows on the horizon,
the tiny insect stretches its wings
from its nighttime nap;
the daylilies rise with the sun.
trees, blinded by the light,
turn their leaves to the Sun,
shyly covering their nakedness
from the passersby.

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
