In Lovely Warmth of Sunshine

In lovely warmth of sunshine, here I sit. I view nearby a beautiful blue lake. Around me many birds of color flit, and in the breeze, the lush trees' branches shake. Far in the distance, there is an array of little boats, each one a giant dot that decorates the water. Children play along a beach beneath my terrace spot. I put my pen down just as swooping by, a blue jay visits me! What a surprise! Not one gray gloomy cloud disturbs the sky, for life is roses and bright butterflies! In lovely warmth of sunshine here I sit. I view nearby a beautiful blue lake.

Just beautiful and if I'm not mistaken it also has iambic pent, yes? A gorgeous job that is a joy to read while its imagery paints an idyllic scene in one's mind. A breath of fresh air is this sonnet! Loved it. Love ... CayCay (Oh, I just saw Natalyn's comment below, how sweet such words must feel to your heart! I could cry.)
