MORNING HALLELUJAH

MORNING HALLELUJAH

A Poem by jeannemarie coulter


MORNING HALLELUJAH
misty rain outside
huge drips falling
from the gazebo roof
beat a soft pattern in the large pottery bowl
rain filled in the night
a soothing splish splash
the peaceful pit pat
wrapped in warm wool cape
i watch the dogs snuffle in the tall wet grass
causing a tiny green tree frog to leap
from grass to flower to fern in irritated alarm
i wonder what they read in the scents not washed away
the entertaining tales of drifting rainy nights
soft wind whispered as secrets to the ferns along the deck
and a raven drops in to call a raucous good day to us
i sip my hot chocolate laced with my own amaretto
and taste the ambrosia of
hot raisin muffins dripping warm butter and honey
another day in fort bragg begins
and we are blessed and at peace
i say a simple prayer
that it would it be so all around the world
hallelujah hallelujah amen...

That would be a Rt17 morning then if I have my forts and my North Carolina routes rights, correct?
I used to be up that neck of the woods almost every week, just north east of there. I think, New Bern, sound correct? Well, nice poetry, regardless of my memory cells!

jeannemarie, There are so few more peaceful environs than a soft rain drumming a beat on a gazebo roof, the sight and sounds of birds finding replenishment and peace, dogs frolicking in the gentle shower of light and wetness. The fact that this is happening on Ft. Bragg base housing seems the peaceful hope of the rain contrasts with the making ready for war location. An oxymoron? Perhaps the prayer for peace will fall on hostile ears and change the course not yet traveled? An excellent show of pure writing talent and grace. take care...dan

Oh a lovely piece of imagery! After a long time, I have found a piece that resonates so strongly with Sir John Suckling's imagery :) and it is amazing. Simple things in your poem come to life, such as the raven, the dogs, the soft wind...

I liked and enjoyed the morning prayer.
"i say a simple prayer
that it would it be so all around the world
hallelujah hallelujah amen... "
I do a similar one. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the outstanding poetry.

peaceful and calming are your words, Jeannematie... this is the kind of morning we'd all love to greet, every day...beautiful penning, my friend

The magic of each new beautiful morning should be celebrated!
Instead, we often hustle out in a worry to get to work.

love amaretto, and love the sound of rain on the roof...

this reminds me of that lovin' spoonful song..."you and me and rain on the roof, caught up in a summer shower, drying while it soaks the flowers, maybe we'll be caught for hours..."
