Wills and Won’ts
My life is full
of wills and won’ts.
Will it rain
or won’t it?
Will the zucchini be large enough
or won’t it?
Will this….
Won’t that….
This morning the birds
landed next to me
as I sat on the patio reading.
Who needs a book
when the poetry chitters
beside me,
today’s own miracle.

Beautiful! Nothing like birds to bring us to the present, which is the best way to live.
The style is kind of sonnet-like. The last four lines are brilliant!
“Will the zucchini be large enough
or won’t it?”
I love this part. It’s the whimsy of your poem.
Poetry chitters beside you. Yes. It does.
