Sonnet To The Morning

written by: Jane Davidson

@Poetrycafe53

Dawn slowly into painted heaven slip,
As morning sun her golden face does show.
And flocks of birds together soar and dip.
Then bright robins jubilant song will flow.

Sly foxes finish hunting for the night,
And Into hidden dens they slowly slink;
While naughty cubs play frolic and fight.
Until vixens barking, make bright eyes blink.

But, too weary are we to welcome Dawn,
And robins sweet singing disturbs our sleep.
While red fox cubs play we awake and yawn.
For time for us does not come cheep.

So, just one moment let us all keep spare.
Then of nature we will become aware

Miriam and Her 13,149 Days by Janete Cabral

Life has a habit of repeating itself. Perhaps Miriam hadn’t learned her lesson, that’s what Eileen, her new-age guru neighbour said. But there it was, the same faded newsstand by the side of the dockyard. Here, she was found alone in a Moses basket on day seven. A retired fisherman, old man Jake heard her high-pitched cries. He took some convincing but his wife Aida claimed her. Their children had long left the nest, and so she became theirs.
Miriam sat on the bench next to the newsstand, watching the waves rocking the fishing boats as the sun set in the distance. Why here of all places? This tired and unloved dockyard in the edge of the world. She thought she’d feel better coming here. Henry had walked out after ten years together. It was brutal and unexpected and she was doubting everything again...
