Watching The Flowers Poem by RIC BASTASA

i open the window
and look out to the garden below
the rain just stopped
and every leaf had the share of the
morning shower

dewy, each leaf smiles
each flower opens each petal anticipating
the sun

fingers of sunlight arrive
and there is touching and hugging
and kissing
light to dew to leaves
flowers to the rays of the sun

such a joy
like an early morning chat with a friend
you haven't had a talk for days
and you discuss
social studies
