Observing Life's Little Moments

Sitting here at the town square watching people going around here a girl feeding pigeons with bread how these birds love eating so very dear Another old lady drinking coffee on a seat nearby in the sun at the centre of the square steps the water sprinkler sprays just for fun Flashing lights flash on the main street there nearby there's the police and ambulance racing by going to some emergency thankfully we have them even a glance Lovely trees surround the square so colourful as the sun shines through even the breeze waves its effect now the sun's warmer on our face so true This is spring anticipating summer bring it on whatever its number! (Just some thoughts sitting at the town square in Southport, England a few weeks ago while enjoying a short break there.)

Yes! I think I notice the same things when I am sitting by our city park. For me it proves how outstanding the “common” is, which, I think, is your excellent point. I observe you show a wonderful natural flow picking your words and composing you lines. Thomas Merton made a point of calling poetscomposers
