Just Loving Life


My wind chimes entertain me as I write
of bright blooms and cool rain,
nearby fields of golden grain,
and life’s joys that never wane.

Thanks SO much, Duke. For now, I've had to trade my porch swing for the indoors~~highs in the mid-nineties, heat indices between 103 and 107! Have a great weekend. Janice

This is really pretty. I like the englyn pattern of rhyme and syllables. There's something that makes it sing like wisdom. Thanks for commenting on my puddle jump poem. J :)
