POETRY FRIDAY


A BIRTHDAY POEM
Ted Kooser

Just past dawn, the sun stands
with its heavy red head
in a black stanchion of trees
waiting for someone to come
with his bucket
for the foamy white light,
and then a long day in the pasture.

Read the rest of the poem here.

Poetry Friday is at PICTURE BOOK OF THE DAY.

Loved this image and the view of life from a cow's perspective. Very leveling.

Good reminder not to race through the pasture, but to slow down and graze...
