Morn

I see the rising sun
Peeping above the hill
I see the rays of light
Slicing the early chill
I see the fluffy clouds
Hovering, grey and still
I see the early birds
And hear their songs so shrill

I see the dewy grass
Glistening in the light
I see the flowers bloom
My, what a wondrous sight
A myriad of colours
Tantalizing and bright
Oh, what a difference
From the dark silent night

I smell the air so fresh
As a breeze kisses my cheek
Rustling leaves in the trees
While it plays hide and seek
I hear a gentle babble
And it comes from the creek
I spy a golden shaft
As the sun takes a peek

As I stroll on the path
Across the lush green meadow
Past bridges, lakes and brooks
In this sleepy hollow
The mist-shrouded mountains
Basking in morning's glow
Adds a touch of splendour
To mother nature's show

Wow, nice poem. I can just imagine it up in the wilds of Perak! Here I get woken up by the birds singing, especially that horrible koel bird. Sometimes I peep out and see the sun rising over the Thean Hou temple opposite me, but generally I'm not awake at sunrise

Hi whiterose,
koel bird? I love the birds singing in the morning. Somehow, they sound sweeter. Sunrise over Thean Hou temple must be quite a sight. Funny, I have the idea that there are no more birds in KL. In Klang, the only bird I saw were the crows!

Well you are certainly right about the crows. They are a menace in the Bangsar area. You know the council has crow shoots every now and again. They close off a road and shoot the crows. Next morning the ground is covered with dead and dying crows.

You'd be surprised how urbanised birds are becoming. I see lots of kites flying around my area, they have become scavengers. I often hear their mewing calls. I see lots of orieoles, and there are even kingfishers in my area.

Also a pair of myna birds have adopted me and treat my window sill as a restaurant. They appear and demand to be fed and unfortunately I've spoilt them. One is here now as I type this.
