Inspired by Frost on a Sunny Morning
The sanctity
of our Sunday comes in the
Nature of it usually being unscheduled.
Nature of it usually being unscheduled.
Deciding
this particular morning that,
Newspaper perused,
housekeeping should be done,
Since it had
gone wanting for a while now,
Dust rag in hand, I set to put things in order
And remove
the residue of the past weeks.
On the
bedside table, my volume of Robert Frost
Called to
me. I make an effort now while
dusting
To sit on
the edge of the bed and open to
An unsellected poem, and take a moment
An unsellected poem, and take a moment
To read and reflect
on some scene Mr. Frost
Has so eloquently drawn with his words.
Has so eloquently drawn with his words.
Upon doing
so I was inspired to wax poetic
Slow down my hustle of housework,
And feed my soul.
Slow down my hustle of housework,
And feed my soul.
Absolutely perfect! I felt like I was the one taking a break from dusting to read a poem.
ReplyDeleteOne must set aside time to exercise the mind and soul as well as the muscles!
ReplyDeleteThat is the purpose of poetry--to slow us down enough to actually see the world around us.
ReplyDeleteOh, Linda, you never fail to amaze me. Poetry, and some good stuff at that! Love you pretty new header, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you feed your soul more often.Writing in poetry is good for a change.
ReplyDeleteyou're a poet
ReplyDeleteand don't know it!
Nice header, soul food of its own kind.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Linda! Robert Frost is one of my favorites also. You make housework less of a drudgery by putting it to verse.
ReplyDeleteLove the cedar waxwing picture too!
As you should. MB
ReplyDeleteOh very nice, Linda. It's always good to feed the soul. :- )
