Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Little Slice of Eden

Sailboats on the river,
Choppers in the sky,
Flowers blazing color -
How fortunate am I!

Butterflies a'flutter,
Painters en plain air,
School kids freed from classrooms
Being silly as they'd dare.

Tourists snap some photos,
Pigeons peck for crumbs,
Sunshine coats the atmosphere;
Anxiety succumbs.

A little slice of Eden
On a Wednesday afternoon
And whenever I must mosey
Will be much much much too soon.

"Envy" was written about 9 years ago. I did some minor editing to it yesterday. Glad you enjoyed reading it – without envy of course! / M
