Rockman Pritts Poet Rhyme

Sitting By the Fireside

Burning embers in the night
Smoke is rising slow
Encasing me in warm delight
Creating mental glow

I close my eyes and listen to
The evenings soothing sounds
Like crickets chirps, the tree frogs peeps
And distant barking hounds

I languish in the darkness
Like the moon and stars above
I'm now at rest and I attest
That this is what I love

There's nothing so embracing
As a peaceful night alone
Sitting by the fireside
Behind my happy home


Rockman  :-)
