Early Morning on the Porch
Darkness
water dripping from the eaves
distant traffic
Trees are taking shape
in the blue blackness
conversation of birds
companionable as chickens
invested in their lives
as we are in ours
Daylight
taking intself seriously now
squirrels chasing up and down
aggressive the mode of the day

A tranquil yet lively atmosphere, very nice!
It felt like we were sitting on the porch with you.
“Daylight
taking itself seriously now” = wonderful line!
I like the animal descriptions especially. Very nice, Pat!
I love how all of the senses come into focus here
Invested in their lives as we are in ours- loved the connection
I love “companionable as chickens.” And, “daylight taking itself seriously now.” You’ve captured some vivid moments of day breaking.
Strong imagery.
I know that porch, that darkness before daybreak and water dripping!
