A Photo And A Poem

Morning Glories Off Back Porch

My Places

My place is on the couch,

glass of merlot in hand,

ready for the catharsis

of a Lifetime movie

_____________________________

My place is in the voting booth

the paper ballot in the slot,

my tiny voice a part

of the process

_______________________________

My place is behind the lens

focusing close,

on birds and bugs,

as the purple morning glory climbs nearby

__________________________________

My place is on the path,

each step bringing

wonder and wisdom,

moving forward in life

______________________________

My best place is beside you,

both in our porch chairs,

coffee cups empty,

reminiscing and planning

Born and raised in Central Texas. Spending time outside brings me joy and I love to share my observations. I also belong to two writing groups and enjoy researching my ancestors. I find people interesting, but Nature keeps me sane.

  1. Betty, this is a delayed response to your Natural Musings post. I liked the poem and see you in each of your “places”. I interpreted the last stanza as a love poem to Dan and was touched by it. Thanks. Abrazos, Marcia

    1. Thank you Marcia! I am in an online poetry group and the prompt for May was “Places”…I decided to share it in my blog too. And my husband’s birthday happens to be in late May…so it served many purposes!
