a morning haze

a morning haze dyes
the surrounding lawn, white-
i'll grow in its silence
as the fog dehydrates
from a rising sun.
i'll see well tanned teasel shelving
its sleepy head along a barbed wire fence.
i'll hear chunter
between a robin and her three young
who are nestled
safely in a gutter's nest...
verdant grass will give way
to a blue horizon.

Tranquillity itself! Utterly beautiful and so evocative. I can almost feel that haze ...

I am reminded of Wordsworth's description of his writing as "Emotion recollected in tranquillity".

A nice poem. We've got a haze here today but it's less pleasant - it's from the wildfires, and it smells like it. I hope you're doing well, everything's fine here.

hope the wildfires stay away from your home... stay safe.

"...as the fog dehydrates..."

Very nice and creative turn of phrase.
