A Lazy Afternoon

A Lazy Afternoon As sun beams down in *Splendour from the sky And breezes *Waft their gentle breath o’er me On soft reclining cushions I here lie Beside a bank of *Lavender, run free Mid *Fragrant scents of grass just newly mown There comes to me the *Whisper of a rose. A fat white cat in slumber on the lawn And in the far off distance, music flows. A *Lilting song in gentle *Dulcet tones Comes floating softly through the crystal air A voice so *Eloquent it melts my bones And with it, melts away all daily care To spend a *Blissful hour just sipping wine, in *Tranquil paradise, I lie supine. ‘*For Andrea Dietrich's Word Warrior Beautiful Words Contest ...10th April 2010

Second stanza, 4th line the word 'of' might be 'off'. I like the work supine, thank you for introducing it to me.

Beautiful indeed, so flowing- ty for your comment- I was going to write "the murder takes flight" but I had just read"what is good poetry" so I put "wing" to make the reader stumble a bit Smiles
