At the Grounds For Sculpture

An afternoon excursion Filled with friends and food and art Takes an ordinary Thursday And just blows it off the chart. Just a stroll throughout the gardens, So impeccably maintained, Proves that Nature has the power To keep callers entertained. Add some monumental sculptures And a classy, tasty meal, Then you’ve hit on the equation For a day that’s quite ideal. Circumstances rarely happen (If they do we have to splurge) When good health and lovely weather And friends’ schedules converge. So today, I’m feeling grateful For a few delightful hours With some loved ones, food and sunshine, Gorgeous trees and art and flowers.

I really like your poetry. You seem to get more out of everyday occurrences than some other people. I like listening to the perspectives of people like you <3

Gosh Ilene, you have such a beautiful style of writing. The meter makes one line flow into the other like the words were always meant to be on your page - like they've belonged there all the time. This is aside from the messages to deliver which always hit the mark for me. love, Kathy
