Best Relaxing Poems
I walked into a meadow
Such beauty did I see
Turns out it's been here
All this time
Revealed so gently
I walked into a meadow
Tamed in part
Yet mostly wild
I skipped among the flowers
Felt the freedom of a child
I walked into a meadow
Shared the warmth
Of her caress
The sunlight of her radiance
A view designed to bless
I walked into that meadow
Without purpose
Soon to learn
A heart can hold more love inside
Than out can ever earn
Oh, the taste of sweet mangoes
While relaxing on a Caribbean beach.
Such a refreshing way to watch the sun
Setting on the blue and calm horizon.
This sweet mango is such an appetizer
Preparing the pallet for the main course.
Stimulating one’s stomach for a feast
With visions of the coming dish,
The main flavor of the day.
Oh, I like tasty mangoes
The setting sun, and
Caribbean beaches.
lolling on a hill
in glossy days of summer
cherishing blue skies
fat bumblebees hum
tunes of sweetness and sunlight
purple rose delight
gurgling brook's laughing
then the fall, and mum's the word
chrysanthemum craze
calico cat frisks
in the mystery of hours
colored by beauty
Christmas is a time triumphant.
Of both mistletoe and miracles
Try...warm wishes and wonder!
Especially, holiday hugs.
Children's eyes bright by candlelight.
Laughs over fruitcake and having
fun.
Illuminated icicles from windows
glisten.
Children, our gifts, still sleepless,
await Santa Claus.
So sacred is this season, let us not
forget the reason!
We pass through the wonderful,wintry
wreath on the great door!
Worship and wrapping keep us
wonderfully busy.
Tis a Holiday that is most holy!
Lastly, yummy eggnog and elves.
Please do celebrate, do not hide
but share yourselves.
May faith,friends and family be centerpiece.
As you approach warm homes, dressed so
warmly in fleece!

warm spring day dipping toes in the cool creek I spot a geode; a large specimen, of crystals that I will clean and admire as it rests between my favorite amethyst chunk and the twin crystal, on my mirrored tile,
next to the potted plants.
natures’ offspring
glitters in creek water
sunlight reflects

" We can learn lessons from nature." by poet
I feel the need to relax today
As I sit outside on this sunny day
I try to let all my stress slip away
I can feel the sunny rays warm my soul
As my worries gently slide off and roll
I am no longer worried about things
As a butterfly flutters its wings
and watch it dip in blooms and out it springs
A bee joins with pollen laden legs
The butterfly gently protects its eggs
A light warm breeze tickles my nose
with sweet perfumes of a freshly bloomed rose
A hummingbird zips by and feeds from blooms
Another one joins as they zip and zoom
Embracing the moment, not feeling gloom
A tufted titmouse flies past my chair
And lands at the feeders, singing with flair
He feeds and sings without any care
A moment in nature is all I need
To enjoy life at a much calmer speed
Candy corn rays of sunlight melt through the glass,
where frosty ice-coated rills amass.
Finger placed against the pane
leaves a misty stain,
when cold day's
rain
gently plays
through emotion's strain,
but glad as my feelings drain.
I pour myself a glass of wine as
candy corn rays of sunlight melt through the glass.

Dogs sleeping,
Insects buzzing,
Breeze blowing,
Life glowing.
Sitting here listening to
a baseball game on my radio
I feel the joy of a new autumn
The season of the high holidays
Halloween and leaves changing colors
The season of the high holidays
Halloween and leaves changing color
The season of the world series and football
The brutal heat of
the New York City is gone
Cold breezes caress our mortal frames
My team - the New York Metropolitans
are winning
I feel like I will
be a winner this season, too
A season with a new lover, hopefully
I've got women on my mind this fall
Sitting here writing verse
feeling a tinge of anticipation
This late September afternoon
on New York's Lower East side
I feel like I will
I'd find nirvana, if I could,
on distant coast by lapping bay,
far from all strain of daunting day.
Sustain no drama, as I should,
an ataraxis of my mind
that is a spot I'd wish to find.
If I ask you to join, you would
find full placidity flows not
from finding an idyllic spot.
Unlock this truth that long has stood:
it's good to know tranquility,
pursuing kind civility.
Concordant harmony is good;
it's worth our diamonds and bankroll
to own it in our inmost soul.
I'd find nirvana, if I could,
sustain no drama, as I should.
If I ask you to join, you would
unlock this truth that long has stood:
concordant harmony is good.

The beach of summer so hot and wonderful
Splashing in the ocean waves
The finding of shells and feet walking along the sand
Fulfilling our desire for more
Relaxing sun and sea breeze through our hair
Wonderful days of mornings, afternoon breezes
Makes us forget our troubles even if its only a little while
Sun, sand, breeze, cool relaxing ocean waves
Makes a wonderful postcard for sure
Relaxing on a sunday afternoon
I love to paint and needlework quilts
I love to relax on my patio, to see the
fruits of my work and smile
I love to create and know, the people
Will love it so
I take the time to envision the work
To be sure every detail is done every needle and stroke
The treasure without measure is there for me
I love to be outside, the beautiful weather, paint the latch hook needle and me
Every morning we wake and sit in the sun,
Warming our legs since this day has begun.
Sipping our tea and having a smoke,
Talking about holidays and telling a joke.
One smoke becomes two and the tea becomes more,
Our rush to work stands up- walks out the door.
It’s a relaxing tranquil start of a day,
Our own little social morning doorstep café.
But then our dreams of travel and free
To a distant island in a distant sea
Reminds us we need to earn a buck
So we pack up and leave wishing each other good luck.
It is crazy how you just control my mind
When im so mad at you, your words make me speechless
I see you lying to me but with the looks of your eyes
You just make me go blind
It is crazy that i have lots of things i want you know
You suck, you are awful, We are so over
But when you stand infront of me
I get weaker, then i get goose bumps because of you
It's crazy how when at the peak of my madness you make me so calm
With the sweet words you say, the gentle way you speak
Without delay, I give up talking or looking at you
Because when ever I want to yell at you my lips go so numb
It's crazy how I really want to hate you but i can't
You make me laugh when im really angry, i don't know how
You drive me crazy that sometimes I just want to knock you off
But at the end of the day, you are the only relaxing pill that I ever want
I am taking a nice relaxing bath
At 2,000 miles a minute
Tossing buckets of water over my head,
Faster than age 2 does it,
Even letting some fly out of the tub
Because it’s funny, and it makes me laugh.
What the heck is relaxing about this?
Okay, Mom, I shall try again…
I am in a frenzy, dumping buckets of water over
My enormously tired body, wishing the mania will
Go away after this bath, and what happens?
I start laughing, thinking about how crazy
Dad’s relatives are.
Right, Mom?
They are all nuts,
So why would I be
Any different?
