Simple Pleasures

Jan 17, 2016 Simple Pleasures "What are they?" I guess I've long forgotten It seems my pleasures stem today From things that I have boughten I used to love the mountain air At least I think I did With the morning mist each day And all the magic that it hid But now the air smells stale and faint A struggle to inhale It makes me sneeze and often wheeze My friends say I look pale Why can't I run just for fun Splashing feet in mud filled puddles Seeing faces in the clouds Feeling solace, as we cuddle We're going back tomorrow Leaving all this stuff behind And live among the mountain tops Making simple pleasures, mine

Hi Jerry. The simple pleasures are an ever changing thing but some of the really great ones are hard to leave behind. Well written, my friend, I enjoyed it.... Robert.

I enjoyed this, Jerry - focus on whatever still does the thing, right? Witty ... CayCay

A simple pleasure is reading some of your poems or a warm breeze as the temps dip below 0 Fahrenheit this morning.
