Afternoon Delight

A glass of lemonade on a hot day Delights the palate and keeps one cool in the summer heat The day is the hottest of the year So I will not travel Rather relax with the newspaper and the television Also get in somewriitng Poetry can bring relief on a bad day and touch the innermost part of one's soul Let us remain open to the poet's art For he or she can influence the heart

I agree that a poet can change the mood of any heart with just the right words, a glass of lemonade is good too. Love your poetry, hope all is well,

Oh, I do love this: "Poetry can bring relief on a bad day and touch the innermost part of one's soul Let us remain open to the poet's art For he or she can influence the heart"
