Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

At the Grounds For Sculpture

An afternoon excursion
Filled with friends and food and art
Takes an ordinary Thursday
And just blows it off the chart.

Just a stroll throughout the gardens,
So impeccably maintained,
Proves that Nature has the power
To keep callers entertained.

Add some monumental sculptures
And a classy, tasty meal,
Then you’ve hit on the equation
For a day that’s quite ideal.

Circumstances rarely happen
(If they do we have to splurge)
When good health and lovely weather
And friends’ schedules converge.

So today, I’m feeling grateful
For a few delightful hours
With some loved ones, food and sunshine,
Gorgeous trees and art and flowers.

Justcallme Britt June 20, 2012 at 2:45 PM I really like your poetry. You seem to get more out of everyday occurrences than some other people. I like listening to the perspectives of people like you <3

Kathryn Collins June 9, 2012 at 8:30 AM Gosh Ilene, you have such a beautiful style of writing. The meter makes one line flow into the other like the words were always meant to be on your page - like they've belonged there all the time. This is aside from the messages to deliver which always hit the mark for me. love, Kathy
