Appreciate the ordinary.
The traditional.
The familiar.
Make the typical come to life.
Appreciate the brown eyes
the gap toothed smiles
the warm cups of hot chocolate on a cold winter day
Make the everyday count.
Appreciate the afternoon sun after a rainy morning
the misty fog sitting above dewy grasses
the scratchy blankets at the drive in movies
And explore.
Explore the books by little known authors with lots to offer
Explore the art buried in gallery corners and alleyways
And maybe you’ll learn that the ordinary isn’t so ordinary after all.
I like the varied sentence structure. I makes the poem very interesting and flow very well.
