The Back Porch

I love sitting on the back porch,                               a cool and peaceful breeze covers me.               In my rocking chair I will sit for hours,                             remembering the days gone by.                   Rocking for hours listening to the calm,               then the birds stopped by and serenaded me.                   Today has ended off to bed I will go,                               I will dream of the quiet time from the back porch         A new day arises,                                                   off to my rocking chair on the back porch.                       As I read my journal,                                               a tranquil spell covers me.                               I become still,                                                 as I read about our love.                                            I can remember our first kiss,                                     a kiss that did last.                                                So serene it was,                                      young love just starting to awaken from childhood.           I love sitting on the back porch,                                 a cool and relaxing breeze covers me.   Date Written: 5/13/2021    3 Place  Writing Prompt - Calm - Poetry Contest                            Sponsored by: Constance La France
