While I don't have a rocking chair, I can relate quite well to the sentiments of this lovely posting. I do feed the squirrels twice daily and enjoy watching their antics from the window of my kitchen. The fresh air and peaceful beauty of trees and flowers are becoming more appreciated each day. I'm so glad you chose to write about them. :-)

This is charming. Makes me want to take my coffee out to a rocking chair and sit allll day. Your style is perfection. The effect is whimsical. Wish that I had a six star rating for you.

Hi Yvonne, this is so lovely. I'm just sitting there with you on the porch and watching the squirrels having all the fun. You are so good at writing these poems. It's a joy to read. All the best. Ulla:)))

It seems the well written pantoum fits the picture perfectly. This poem paints strong images and evokes equally strong emotions about a beatiful
start to a day that you seem from your porch.
Keep writing

What a lovely poem Yvonne. Makes me want to be there. I love the picture as well, would love to spend a summer morning sipping Iced tea and watching the antics of the birds and squirrels. Well done my friend. Nancy:)

Nice poem and good accompanying art work. In the line about the sun's "peak" through treetops, did you mean "peek" - altho I guess either word could work in that instance.

I enjoyed reading this Pantoum again, Yvonne. It is so well done and the message, repeats, and theme are calming and soothing. I enjoyed it all over anew.

Wow, this is a fun poem.
Is this a named style? It makes me want to try it.
I've read it several times now and I'm amazed at how smoothly you run through the repeat lines.
Very well done.
Sharon

I see a great rhyme scheme going on here. I like the way Sun is personified. This seems like it would be a happy poem to read on a rainy day. Here is a great phrase: shadow limbs to look like lace
There is 'L' alliteration 4 times there!
There is much going on besides sitting in a rocking chair, that is for sure! Nice post. NO idea what to fix.
