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 Date: 8/2/2023 7:34:00 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 :) Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 8/2/2023 12:43:00 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 Date: 7/28/2023 1:49:00 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. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 7/28/2023 3:14:00 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

Judy Ball Date: 7/27/2023 4:45:00 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 Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 7/28/2023 3:11:00 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 Date: 7/27/2023 10:31:00 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! Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 7/27/2023 1:21:00 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 Date: 7/27/2023 10:12:00 AM A beautiful, descriptive write, Sara! I feel like I'm missing out by not having a porch to sit on. Blessings, Kim M Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 7/27/2023 1:19:00 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 Date: 7/27/2023 10:08:00 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 Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 7/27/2023 1:18:00 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 Date: 7/27/2023 6:52:00 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. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 7/27/2023 7:43:00 AM Why, thank you, Vijay. I appreciate the encouraging words. Sara
