Sitting On the Front Porch In the Evening Shade

Sitting on the front porch in the evening shade, strumming on a flattop guitar that was made to play along with a country song about a sad heart who was done wrong. Old Shep beats his tail to the tune, enjoying the breeze and the croon of the melodic voice which fills the air, encouraging the birds to sing with flair. Friendly neighbors stop by to listen with glee to the one-man show which is free, there isn't anything he can't play, taking all requests on any day. Favorites are heard and the group is a part of the dusk-like entertainment considered art, joining together with voices raised up high, taking a walk down memory lane with a sigh. Sitting on the front porch in the evening shade is a summertime thought that will not fade, singing along with the guitar, making sounds in unison near and far.

Sounds like a fun hoe-down on the Walker porch. I'll bring my harmonica! Enjoyed this very much, Sonia. Congrats on your win! ~ John
