Hello, blog friends!
There's nothing quite like the sunrise. I walk alone in the early morning, because I like to listen to the first sounds of nature awakening. It's a walking meditation of sorts - just me, the wildlife, and the trees.
I mention this because Robbie posted an invitation for folks to use personification in a poem. She is the hostess this week for Tanka Tuesday. Robbie explained personification as "a figure of speech that gives human qualities, emotions, or actions to inanimate objects, animals, or abstract concepts." Her invite brought a smile, because I talk to the trees and the little creatures running around. Don't get me wrong, my "chats" are simple - a hello, a thank you, a you're beautiful.
Years ago, I was at a college administrators' meeting. We were waiting for the president, and folks were chatting about houses. At one point, I blurted in jest, "I could live in a cave if I could look out at a forest." I didn't mean it seriously, but there was a hidden truth in what I said. Nature is a comfort for me. Is it for you as well?
Here's my simple contribution to Robbie's invite:
