I decide to take my dog to the park 
on this beautiful warm sunny day, 
and sit under one of the gazebo's 
picnic table-benches 
to enlighten some inspirational 
true creative writing. 

Sun beats down, bellowing clouds 
at a standstill. Breeze weaves through 
limbs making the leaves slightly wave. 
Grass sparkles in the dapple shades 
creating abstract scenes. 

I embrace a deep breath to clean 
fresh-air and watch my dog run. 
Usually there is someone walking 
or running on the walk path, 
but not today. 

Meadowlarks plunging into chatter 
conversation midst tree’s canopy. 

Rays of imagination sunshine young 
children yearning for play; in a hurry 
to finish eating their picnic lunch as their
mothers sit relaxing comfort under the gazebo. 

Cheerful laughter star twinkles 
and glow on their faces as they run 
to the playground towards the jungle 
gym, to climb and explore the slides, 
and reaching meeting the sky on the swings.

An infectious smile melting my heart 
just watching the children play rewards 
me with memories of my own rambunctious 
children when they were young. 

My imagination gives way to the creation 
of the moment movement, and feelings 
to description of my surroundings.
