A Sunday Morning Calls

Rate: 11 Flag

Rays of sun peek through the curtains

To dance on bedroom walls

Birds twitter outside the window

A Sunday morning calls

 

Children giggle and jump on beds

Daddy feigns sleep and snores

Mummy stretches hands up high

A Sunday morning calls

 

The kettle shrills a high pitched tune

As toast floats through the halls

Bacon and eggs spit and sizzle

A Sunday morning calls

 

Songs of praise and loud rejoicing

And bells ring at St Pauls

Fam’lies gather all together

A Sunday morning calls

 

Time spent with grandma and grandpa

Kids kicking soccer balls

Ev’ryone happy and at peace

 

As Sunday morning falls

Nice. Very sweet: glad that grandma and grandpa got their visit. (Love your open, smiley face, too!)
Pilgrim: Can't leave out grandma and grandpa! No siree! (And, thank you! I thought it was time to stop hiding behind that bridge!)
Lovely poem. It just so happens as I was reading your poem (on a Sunday morning), I hear birds chirping outside my window. R
I want to be at your house on Sunday mornings! What a delightful and enticing description!
Kate, so relatable. Even if our sunday mornings weren't (or aren't) that peaceful and happy and normal....your poem portrays what we all want. Beautiful. Is that your picture? that's beautiful too!
A delightful journey through one lovely sunday.
Thanks for refreshing the palette in order that our week start off brightly. ~R~
Showoff!!!
: )

So nicely done! Such a sweet image.
I'm jealous!
Trudge164: Hi Trudge! Glad you liked it. I wish everyone could get just the right sound affects, like you, when they read one of my poems! How lovely!

Patricia: You'll be welcome anytime!

trilogy: I love Sunday mornings and this was how they ususally looked when my kids were little and, for the most part, they still do! But instead of them jumping on my bed nowadays, it's my grandson! (Yep, that's me! Hi!)

Fred: Thank you! I appreciate your kind comment very much.

PW: Thank you! That's exactly what I was hoping to do with this simple poem ... refresh our spirit and appreciate the everyday joys of mother nature, life and family.
JD: Showing off! Me? Glad you liked it .... even if you are going to call me names!!!!
Yes...call you names....like "wonderful person" and "great poet!"

Deal with it if you can!!!
I don't think I could ever deal with great poet ... I am definitely not worthy of that one at all! But I do like "wonderful person" ... thank you!
I miss those kind of Sunday's...you bring back wonderful memories.
oh, kate, i can see this as a cross-stitch or calligraphy, really nice, such charming visuals and smells and sounds, all of it.
Each verbal image needs a picture illustration, and you have a beautiful children's book - that rhymes. Lovely ! ~R~
LL2: Happy memories! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

dianaani: What a lovely idea! ... But, alas, I'm not gifted at neither cross-stitch nor calligraphy.

fusun: Another lovely idea! I'm flattered you think it worthy, fusun! Thank you.
What a lovely poem. Thanks for sharing K.
This is tooooo sweet to miss. What a lovely piece, Kate. R
Algis: And thank you for reading! I'm so glad you liked it.

Thoth: And you're sweet too!
Very nice poem. I particularly like the rhythm.
What a Sunday morning delight! What a Friday evening delight! Love the dad feigning sleep and mom stretching and the aromas of breakfast. May I spend the night with your family this Saturday? Your simplicity speaks volumes. That's talent. Rated!
Oops! Never mind. I'm already too late. I live up in the Colorado Rockies and 6 hours from DIA. Could never get to Australia in time. Better luck next time.
