Morning prayer
Shallow clouds frame the sky
Slowly fading to blue.
White sunlight reaching down,
Tickling sleepy senses.
I fold my hands and kneel
Below the newborn day
And with closed eyes listen
To the wind’s soft whistle.

so beautiful and softly descriptive .. and what a beautiful watercolour, off to see more
Hope you enjoyed them! And thanks for the kind words.
*sigh*
Such lovely imagery. I wish I could smell that bread.
Guess my writing wasn’t good enough
I’ll try to do better next time, with flavours! 
This is really good! This is why you have over 100,000 hits.
Keep it up!

That’s a step up from ‘interesting’. I’ll take that

“I fold my hands and kneel

Love it!

Thank you Annie. I like that one too.
Why do I think the first two verses are very good and the last two less so. Should I dare to disagree with the experts.Ok, so I don’t know too much about poetry.
By the way “Charlie” will never do with racing green,it most definately has to be “charles”

I agree, was struggling with them myself. I am not sure I’m made for this structured poetry thing, at least being as busy as I find myself to be, I don’t seem to have the necessary patience either. But I posted it to see whether some of my talented friends came up with some change suggestions……
And re Charlie, well, I know the add said British racing green but in the end he turned out to be blue, so I am sticking with “Charlie”.
I really like the warmth this resonated.
It’s nice.
