Sunday Poet

Fresh scented pines towering over me 
Rest and sweep sweet summer noises
Buzz and dance with glee
  Crickets sing forever, a beat so wee 

Needles of green
 Running water a poets dream
Musty smells, the old church bells chime and lullaby 
Cool breezes, autumn teases nearly blowing by

Ponds of peaceful waters 
I sit here on these wooden quarters 
Dragon flies dressed in colors so bright blue- 
That rest upon the shapely stone, then flew

Into a wonderland of lush gardens 
Burnt amber birds stopped by, I beg your pardon 
For here I watch nature, as she spreads her carpet so free 
Of wild twisted branches and escaped flowers with a bee 

Sunday hours of liberty 
Dressed in suits and skirts, high society 
Golden rods that flex across the path 
And there, chirping, a baby bird takes a bath  
 
Lily pads float so gentle and dwell-
A poet’s spell, filled with serenity 
As I breathe in my identity 
Here on this dreamy summer Sunday

You paint a picture of the perfect Sunday. Such a day would refresh and restore any poet's soul! I do believe, however, that you could write beautifully about any day of the week! Lovely poetry! .....Fondly...Carrie PS. Thank you for reading mine, and for your encouragement.
