Afternoon Relaxation

Afternoon Relaxation The afternoon’s sun sinks into the tree lined horizon I sit on a porch swing One leg curled under me My other leg dangling The afternoon’s breeze caresses my face I gently, rock back and forth One foot anchored to the on the porch My toenails shine strawberry red The afternoon’s warmth envelopes me I hold a dish of melting vanilla ice cream One cherry perched on top My tongue wishes is it was a strawberry instead
