A New Year Poem

Resolutions Written

Rains lift leaving
silky sky.
Sage scent
fills air.
Manzanita,
oaks, pines
call to me.
Cool stroll,
wool hat,
hands in
barn coat
pockets.
Deer tracks
visible on
dark dirt
path. Pools
puddle in
meadow.
Magical crows
circle above.
Positive
premonition
for the new year.

    Truly enjoy your New Year poem, Jill, especially now that I live a rural life. And if crows be a good omen for the new year… then good on me, as I was greeted, this morning, with a racket by a bunch of very noisy crows. It made me smile, I do so like all the birdlife here in New Mexico. Thank you for your writings, they continue to encourage me to look around my own world more.

    1. Jerrianne, How fun that you were greeted with my poem and crows! Now that’s serendipity and a great start to the new year. I love to bird watch also.

  2. My brother suggested I would possibly like this blog.
    He used to be entirely right. This put up truly made
    my day. You can not imagine simply how a lot time I
    had spent for this info! Thanks!
