the view from my window
notes a lawn, trees and the ocean
that ocean stretches to New Zealand
often birds and bunnies inhabit the lawn
while birds and breezes love those trees
kiwis migrate coz they love our wages
all these have featured on my pages
in all their glory and various stages
supple vigorous and outrageous
yet if I constrain my view
things take on a darker hue
when broadened it glitters like dew
on clear moonlit nights
my awesome wonder window
cool balmy winter
d’Verse, window, Peter – a poem ending in a haiku
The words yes, but the photos too, love the feel of this.

That’s a great view, (lucky you). thanks for sharing it. I liked the contrasts here – between light and dark, expansive and narrow views and some clever rhymes ‘…pages /…stages /….outrageous’. Thanks for sharing.

There is something so soothing about moonlight on water, as if it’s a path to Brigadoon or some other magic land.
