Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Out On the Veranda

Miss the quiet so go to the porch
Drawn into its pleasure.
Awesome way to start a day.
Viewing nature's measure

Water sprinklers imitate rain. 
Man's poor substitute
Across the way God's gift breath takes
Fulfills not dilutes.

The ambiance surrounds all plants.
And the poet out on the porch'
A relaxation covers all. 
Hold high nature's torch! 

Sometimes nature does go astray.
From God's divine plan
Mankind has interrupted it.
Now the world needs giant fan. 

The sun is now higher in the sky.
Soon it 'twill be too hot.
Inside in the AC is the only spot.  
Napping on a cot.

Linda Alice Fowler August 2, 2023 at 7:34 AM I just loved this Sara! The veranda seemed such a nice place to view nature's temper as a child. AC has spoiled us, I think. LOL hugs :) Sara Kendrick August 2, 2023 at 12:43 PM Linda Alice, I am sure that AC has spoiled us to a certain extent, but I don't think I could have kept on living without it. I do not do the heat in summer very well at all. Thanks for dropping by. I have to go out on the porch about daybreak to be able to stand it out there. Sara

Suzette Richards July 28, 2023 at 1:49 AM It is always a feat for the senses to read your poetry, Sara, and this one hits the nail on the head - I would also like to rather be sitting on a porch marveling at the Creation. Sara Kendrick July 28, 2023 at 3:14 AM Suzette, I think we all would enjoy some time out on the porch or something similar. Everyday needs a little time to commune with nature for a total relaxing experience (for most). Your visit added so much to my page. Sara

Gershon Wolf July 27, 2023 at 7:51 PM Love how you take me, your reader, through the highs and lows of inconstant Nature! Sara Kendrick July 28, 2023 at 3:12 AM I am glad you got into the lines and experienced the highs and lows. Your visits encourage. Sara

Judy Ball July 27, 2023 at 4:45 PM Indeed Relaxing on the veranda is nice but sometimes it can be too hot out there. My happy place n summer is my garden swing Where I am surrounded by my flowers and the butterflies and bees. A lovely and relaxing read my friend. Good job. God Bless, JB Sara Kendrick July 28, 2023 at 3:11 AM Yes, Judy, it can be hot out there this time of year. Early, very early in the morning is better, but there are days that the humidity is so high that it is miserable out even at that time of day. I need all the blessings I can get. Thanks for dropping by and taking time to read my lines. Sara

Smita Kulkarni July 27, 2023 at 10:31 AM It is indeed very relaxing to start a day by sitting out watching the nature doing its natural things! Keep enjoying GOD's magic by taking time to sit outside in the veranda Sara! Sara Kendrick July 27, 2023 at 1:21 PM Why, thank you, Smita. Sometimes it just doesn't work out for me to get out there these days. I need to work harder at getting the time out there.Thanks for your visit. Sara

Kim Merryman July 27, 2023 at 10:12 AM A beautiful, descriptive write, Sara! I feel like I'm missing out by not having a porch to sit on. Blessings, Kim M Sara Kendrick July 27, 2023 at 1:19 PM Kim, It is nice to sit out on the porch in early morning at the time of the rising sun to enjoy a little time alone with nature and God. There, of course, are ways to enjoy that time without a porch. Maybe in the yard or a park. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Valsa George July 27, 2023 at 10:08 AM Summer becomes very severe and unbearable especially at noon. With artificial means, we can reduce the heat, but nothing like the God given boon of rain. Enjoyed your early morning scenes watched from the veranda Sara Kendrick July 27, 2023 at 1:18 PM Valsa, I remember when a rain would cool it down and there would be relief for a few days sometimes which was a blessing in the mist of summer. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Vijay Pandit July 27, 2023 at 6:52 AM Out on the veranda early morning--drawing inspiration from the dawn rising--is the best place to be for enjoying hues of nature. Splendid theme and splendid write, Sara. Sara Kendrick July 27, 2023 at 7:43 AM Why, thank you, Vijay. I appreciate the encouraging words. Sara
