Autumn Bliss
Autumn is one of the best seasons
Simply for a few very different reasons,
The weather permits for all outdoors social events
Relief from the temperature of the suns torments,
Enjoy lunch or dinner out on a restaurants patio
Cool nights to enjoy walks for last round of cardio,
Walk your furry companion without heat stroke worry
You can enjoy outings without

Outdoor Classroom
Jump, thump, six graders jump
from stone to pebbly stone.
Chirp chirp the robin flies
Across the sky alone.
Crunch chunch the graveled feet,
Sh. . . shoo, a breathy whisper,
Hard, cold bench for a seat,
Rough wood, perhaps a splinter.
Puh, puh, puh, a boy spitting,
Mosquito slap
A girl is hitting.
Scarlet leaves on willowly stem
Dance in the crisp fall air.
I hear a

FIREPLACE OUTDOOR WARMTH JACKET
Full of warmth
Reflections back
Holidays contribute to that
Feel the holiday flavor
Ingredient added Joy and Happiness to savor
The thought of Lumber jacks
Paul Bunyan being just that
Fireplace center red and black bricks
A wish for snow
Night stars that shine
Holiday preparation
Fireplace jacket delight
The holiday season taking flight

The Outdoor Art Fair
The outdoor art fair’s housed in tents
Where photographs and oils
And watercolors wait for sales
So artists earn their spoils.
At first, the sun was out though the
Humidity was high,
As would-be customers and neighbors
Leisurely strolled by.
Admiring the art, we also
Found some artists who
Enjoyed discussing how they started
Doing what they do.
We didn’t make a purchase but
The art work did

An Outdoor Relish
Can you still grasp me trembling on the ledge?
Your braw heart was precautious to dive in.
Do you spot me pause seeking out a pledge?
Can you still grasp me trembling on the ledge?
A strong leaf turns to a caring skin hedge.
To taste my zeal in your arms and within.
Can you still grasp me trembling on

Outdoor Tables
We’re in a “new” trendy neighborhood called Cascade Heights, in Atlanta. It’s lush - hydrangea, musk rose, hoya and blue false indigo are in bloom and there are greens of every possible variation.
The sky is clear and southern-sun bright - shadows are crisp. It’s going to be 91°(f) today and although it’s only noon,

My Outdoor Garden
Mind-boggling bowing of the trees' stretching
Vast beds of blossoms are overseen in adjoining
Beds that were displayed in a solitary tone sparkled
It was also defined where each should be developed
Though the rustic garden is splendid to the sight
One cannot challenge such a wonderful delight
Each fashioned shadiness to convey a purpose
And biding each aspect is an ongoing

Outdoor Dining
I ate in an outdoor shed today;
The cold did not stand in my way.
I wasn’t bothered by the noise
Of traffic which, at times, annoys.
Construction sounds, like drills and booms
Or buses spewing noxious fumes
Could not create the slightest dent
In my good mood, nor money spent
On mediocre lunchtime fare;
I was so happy to be there!
My friend and

Outdoor Bliss
The ducks in the air flying in a V-shape.
The clouds overhead looks dark like rain,
The sunrise with its orange-red on the lake
The cattails whistling in the wind.
The snow-covered glisten in the sun
The ducks quacking to the other ducks it is time to go south
Father and sons are going camping together, it is going to snow

My Outdoor Fun
I sprawl and roll neath sunny skies of blue
with butterflies
my new fun
outdoor
toy
and
see how
they flutter
above my paws
to touch and tease me while I pat their wings.
