Charles Messina Poet Verse

Such a Marvelous Day

Sitting in my backyard on a mild evening
A tint of coolness breezes in the wind
Watching the clouds show their shadowy faces 
I close my eyes and rest awake
I sit with my head tilted back...
Waiting for the hot sun to redden my face 
With my neatly cut grass a lay
The smell of green touches my nose 
Sitting beside me, my pup Maltipoo lays in comfort...
Resting as the sun warms her mane-like hair 
The forest behind my slatted fence...
Echoes, from the fluttering of blowing leaves 
Shadows are everywhere 
Hidden in the bushes...sparrows sing in rhythm 
As my hair blows... 
I open my eyes; thinking 
Such a marvelous day
