Bill Drayton Poet Free verse

Lazy Afternoon

LAZY AFTERNOON

Heady with scented freshness,
The drowsily flowing river
Glides through a sun-skimmed 
Summer's simmering day - 

As outpoured wine to be savoured,
Together with the static, fevered tones
Of a hot, unquenchable breeze,

Slow-meandering in its languid state,
Unhurried by the lazy afternoon's stillness,

Spent in the somnolent embrace
Of a weighted, swaying hammock,
Where the beat of time seems suspended.
