Oma Bennett Poet Lyric

A Lazy Afternoon

I sit  on my deck on this lazy afternoon
watching the sun move slowly to the west

The leaves are dancing on the oak tree out back 
from a breeze gently blowing from the south

A sparrow is hopping from post to post 
on the old fence down by the road

A little squirrel  playing  and running around
to the top of the tree and down to the ground

then I hear a whistle from a distant train
And the rhythm is like music to my ears

I  think to myself  what wonderful way 
to spend a  beautiful  lazy  afternoon

Carolyn Devonshire February 28, 2009 at 8:10 PM Oma, enjoying the glory and beauty of nature and her creatures is a wonderful way to spend a "beautiful lazy afternoon." I float in my pool, sometimes for hours, listening to the birds and allowing my imagination to run wild. It helps inspire creative writing, doesn't it? Love this poem, Carolyn
