Here we are in eastern Pembrokeshire
taking a wander round Narberth
a little market town on the A78
it's so lovely, I had to write a little verse
Its High Street has variety around
with Georgian and Edwardian multi colour
buildings of character, they are
echoes of beauty make them a stunner
Lilies coffee shop is a must
so helpful and happy to receive
cakes and light lunch so fab
coffee's marvel, you won't believe
Independent shops abound here
from deli food to fine art
woodland walks and sandy beaches
lie only minutes away to start
This has been a day most excellent
one to remember for many a day
memories are made of such as these
even to the point of wanting to stay
(Just looking back a few weeks ago on holiday in South Wales coast to a lovely town called Narberth.)
Today is neat I went to the beach, the Red Sea coast
I saw some nice people volunteerly clean the coast
Oceans cleaning day what a lovely good work we had!
I’m sorry but I must admit
That I have read this book
There’s no point of rereading it
As if I overlooked
Unobvious important signs
That I did much appreciate
I changed my surreptitious mind
To set the fresh update
I’ve come to see your apple tree
It’s such a lovely day!
You smiling face looks down on me
Don’t worry now, please stay
Come to the table, have some wine
Pour some for me, like then
In good old days, when you were mine
And I was your best friend.
Here I am at home on my own
listening to some great Mozart
while I put my pen to paper
today I will enjoy in no small part
This is a setting I truly enjoy
just little old me I singly see
all my good times in life
and in the future, I do foresee
A picture this is in my mind
so full of complete inner joy
something one can't explain
like in childhood loving a fav toy
Later after lunch read a book
one that stirs your heart so full
someone's life or maybe poetry
that brings real peace as a rule
This day is marked by joy
an inner peace so distinctly real
many like this I hope to spend
bow in God's presence to mark His seal
Today Lil wears a flowered dress,
a big straw hat, and comfy shoes
while watering Mom’s many blooms
the big and small, the pinks and blues.
Her golden dog and tabby cat
relax and calmly watch their friend.
What could be better for a girl
than having flowers to attend?
The front yard is a wonderland
with things for little girls to do
and loving pets that wait nearby.
Life bears a happy, rosy hue.

Looking out the window
this morning, I see
haze and clouds
I can't even find the sun
but I have hope in my heart
and it is a new day
full of possibilities
and I choose to be
optimistic and embrace
it as a lovely day
We met a man…and Englishman…
who, when we were greeted him had this to say…
He smiled, tipped his hat then said…”Have a lovely day”.
It was a lovely sentiment…
which loses a little something on this page where only the words appear
because it was spoken in that wonderful English accent
I’m sorry you weren’t there to hear…
But if you read these words in your best English accent…
Let me offer this English blessing to you…
With a smile, and a tip my hat I say…
May your day be lovely…too
The fabric of time, bends to our will.
The portents of love, we will fulfill.
People always find, reasons to live.
When someone appears, with hope to give.
The music today, looking for soul.
when it has no heart, it takes a toll.
The thinkers- know-how, will rue the day.
Becoming a force, that comes to play.
Green newbies appear, and not to lose.
They all seem to have, their blue suade shoes.
Another lovely day, full of strife.
A lonely android, longing for life!
It is sunny day today
she looks at her beauty
as it is a beautiful day
to play with friends at the beach.
A good place for the poor and rich
as it always free to touch
waters and sands when folks reach
Durban front beach.

It is glorious weather today
The sun is bright and warm
Birds are happily chirping
A distant sound of someone mowing the lawn
A productive day outside for both of us
Giving a sense of achievement all round
A well earned coffee break in our garden
Enjoying and taking in natures surrounds
Its simple things and simple days
That bring me so much pleasure
A happy day with the one l love
These days l do truly treasure!
It’s a lovely day; I want to play.
Outside I’ll tag the first big bug I see.
Pretending that it might be chasing me,
I’ll cry, “You’re IT,” as I then run away.
Then I’ll have myself a private relay
while running backwards as I shout with glee,
“It’s a lovely day.”
When the sun is shining, inside why stay?
It’s sweet when there’s no gloom from which to flee,
so until the end of my little spree,
twirling or scissor walking home, I’ll say,
“It’s a lovely day.”

For Jeff Kyser's Rousing Rondine Poetry Contest
Instead of hate, please pass the scones
There is no need for guns and drones
A tablecloth of white and pink
Is better than a shroud, I think
With saucers of a china blue
To hold our cups of loving brew
No need they match in color style
For beauty knows them all the while
The petit fours in rainbowed squares
Reflect the world of one who cares
Where differences are meant to be
To live and love all truly free
Why must this be a sugared dream
Somewhere inside us, it would seem
That common sense and goodness dwell
To seek of heaven, not of hell
It’s a lovely day for a tea party
Today the sun recites itself
in poetry of light
abundantly...
the garden is painted
in joy...
The flowers exult
in scents and colors...
my eyes opened
to appreciate all
beauty...
Awake, I'm...
I the one who came from the haze
nights...
I woke up early to
sight the miracles
oF the nature... !
Have a bliss Day ! !
suggested song LOVELY DAY - Donovan

The rays of the bright sun
shine down through the trees.
Tall trees bring shade
cooling the animals and insects.
The breeze isn't too strong;
the flowers and the weeds dance in the wind.
The birds and insects sing happily
in harmony together.
Frogs leap together in the pond
from lily pad to lily pad.
The water of a waterfall crashes into itself,
and the clear water shows tiny fish at the bottom.
Not a single cloud in the blue sky
nor a single gloomy sight to be seen.
