"Of a summer Sunday morning / Swing my steps to take me wide"


Poem Artwork

Outside

Of a summer Sunday morning
Swing my steps to take me wide
With a notion without warning
I am going now: outside

I have brooded too long gloomy
Where the sunbeams never shine
Out about to still more roomy
Places I will claim for mine

Should the bagels all be eaten
Down at Starbucks on the square
Never mind I am unbeaten
Surely they have coffee there

Pour it steamy strong and tarry
Black as coal and hot as hell
Jolt me till the sky is starry
That I write alive and well

I know I ought to go to church
But like Morticia Gomez Lurch
And Grandmama and Fester too
My father son and maybe you
I mean to wait for Tenebrae
Lest I be overdone by day

Yet step by step one at a time
In line by line eccentric rhyme
Headlong into this sunny clime
Of a summer Sunday morning
Swing my steps to take me wide
With a notion without warning

I am going now: outside

The kind of summer morning I'd like. It is so nice to be outside, looking at things, having cofee, enjoying yourself. Thanks for this write. Encouraging me and very neat.

"Outside" is where I go all of the time; including into the music of "Lord of the Rings" and when I get on my mountain bike and cycle around the "hill." It's almost like a ritual I suppose but it's what I need to do. That's why I relate to you, bro. Love and peace. Regis

Outside you must eventually abide,
Be you cat or dog or human you decide,
If your name is Freddie Noodles you could travel worldwide,
Just be smart and do not allow your stomach to be your guide...RUFUZ (oh & ed)
