Midday Siesta

Beneath a pleasant
Sun and a gentle gust, I
Doze in peace on grass

I can picture the scenery here, reminds me much of Canada. There was hill where I used to lie down on and watch the clouds and the sun. I used name the clouds according on what they look like. You brought back memories, and I thank you. Beautiful write.

I don't buy this at all, Farah, The Young One. A young girl like you does not need any siesta at all, you should be playing 'hide and seek' out in the sun. Hey, it's old and ancient men like Sean and me who need lots of rest and sleep! LOL The Young Once
