Dave Timperley Poet Rhyme

A Lazy Day

Our jobs were all done yesterday,
Got up to a sunny morning today.
Breakfast done and dishes washed,
Another coffee and my comfy chair,
Just gazing about seeing what's there.
Azure blue sky and a gentle breeze,
All in place for a morning of ease.
Birds drink at the fountain I made,
They also drink at our water cascade.
Bees gathering nectar for their Queen,
All in the garden is quite serene.
Butterflies flutter by, cicadas chatter,
Pigeons in the Pine having a natter.
A large bright green lizard ambled across,
For all the world saying Hey I'm the boss.
Smaller ones flitted among the pots,
Prehistoric animals that time forgot.
And so the day passed in our Cyprus place,
A coffee, a book, our dogs in a lazy space.

Dave Timperley August 24, 2017 at 5:59 AM Hi, Ralph, The view from our veranda screams out to be written about in any season, it is so lovely. makes it hard to get some jobs done, not that I have many nowadays.

Anita Harris August 22, 2017 at 11:36 PM Observing nature is a lazy and enjoyable way to spend the day! Enjoyed your poem! Dave Timperley August 23, 2017 at 7:05 AM Thanks for stopping by Anita. I think that nearly 60 years of hard slog earns one the right to set back and enjoy the rest of life's journey. If my poetry helps someone else to enjoy it too then that is a bonus. God Bless. D.
