Best Veranda Poems

Come out on the Veranda Amanda 
For the sun is  setting soon 
We will speak of love with candour
As we stroll beneath the moon
I will strum upon my mando-
-lin, choose sweetest songs to croon
For you are my heart’s commander
And your nearness makes me swoon

As...

Spring's veranda calls to me, come enjoy peace
Out on the porch I commune with sweet nature
A sacred place of quietude and release
Where seasons come then go with air sweet and pure
And the view causes my stress to slowly cease
Out on this portico, though a humble...

There’s a panda on my veranda
It’s been there most of the night
I don’t think I would have believed it
But it’s there in black and white...

Once I sat on our veranda with my sister,  sweet Miranda
And the forbidden goodies we had purchased at the store.
While I nibble, neatly snapping, suddenly there comes a flapping
Of an apron at the door.  My dear mother is once more
Catching us in our...

Oak trees, dark or sunny sky,		
Neighbors waving, passing by,

Music of the buzzing bees,
Young ones playing as they please,

Varied colors seasons bring,
Ecstasy of birds that sing,
Roaming strays, both dogs and cats,
Active squirrels, dancing gnats,
Nature’s grand, diverse array,        
Divers sights...

A lap full of warm animals
Out sitting on the veranda
Relaxing time my rationale
A lap full of warm animals
At least I  have their approval
And glad it's not a Giant Panda
A lap full of warm animals
Out sitting on the veranda  

One cat clawing and one...

Steel gray clouds coat the early morn's sky
Smoke like puffs float close by
Still~the oak leaves hang without breeze
Stagnant the air lies

Heavy rain soaked clouds biding time
Waiting to release tears
Earth awaits dried now from springs once
Steady flow, damp in arrears  

A rainy Friday opens doors
To...

Amanda smiles when she walks down the street.
Amanda parades for the company she meets.
Amanda auditions when you ask her name.
Amanda Veranda is her own hall of fame.

But under the garments and jewels she wears.
She can't stop fearing the gossip she hears.
At night when she's naked...

After the thunder and lightning storm
Raindrops steadily fall
It washes the air clean for now
Veranda my name calls

Everything is pollen coated
Birds of the air seem fine
Doves coo to their love in phrases  
Sparrows chirp to others their line

It is a musical chorus
Each species comes in...

World Cruise...Veranda Beach (Acrostic)



 Without a doubt this place is a perfect peach
 Overnight stay you don’t have to pay at Veranda Beach 
 Really dirt cheap my own keep and don’t have to leech
 Living like a King on my wee little wing what...

The succulent awaits the sun
That pink streak now rising
Stretched across a gray blue sky
It's magenta blossoms abiding

Change happens very swiftly each
morn, the sky's color shifts
Now sand like the ocean's shore
That constantly pitches and drifts

Oh! The stillness fills the soul
Colors flash upon a screen
Beauty displayed blesses...

Since I retired and after my jobs for the day
The list now completed and tools put away
I take time out just to sit in the shady spot,
To muster my thoughts and empty the coffeepot.
Whether it be morning, noon or night,
I sip my coffee let my...

Warm sunshine did beckon come out
North wind did threaten chill
Hummingbird windchime played a tune
But it was cold on the hill

Just a few minutes with nature
Enjoying bird calls fine
See the effect of sun, wind,_rain
'Pon the tall Georgia Pine  ...

on the veranda
sounds of raindrops, twirling leaves
scurrying squirrels
gunshots in the distance boom
- deer to decimate garden      ...
