L Milton Hankins Poet Quintilla

Sunday Afternoon

Soothing sounds of a Sunday afternoon
Low roar of the crowd, touchdown soon
Delighted children giggling uncontrollably
The family relaxing so comfortably
Morning paper around us suitably strewn

Shirley Hawkins November 8, 2021 at 5:39 PM The sound of the bat hitting the ball when watching a cricket match, while having a picnic..... contentment. L Milton Hankins November 8, 2021 at 7:59 PM Yes, it is, Shirley. I'm glad you had this reaction to my poem. Thanks for sharing.
