Premium Member A Lazy day on a Porch
Dog is lying in the shade, his butt under the car’s tire I bask in the sun, loving the Vitamin D Wind picks up in a savage way Shiny coral leaves dance in a macabre way Dead, they forgot to fall off their branches last fall Next month the new growth will begin Will the neonates force the oldsters to the...

Glistening lights across my porch Giving her a whisper of whimsy I love having them up there They are a reflection of me Fragile, yet showy Dazzling in a quiet, joyful way Fantastically decorative and fun!...

The black comes out as crumbles. My dogs are overjoyed that...

A Screened-In Porch
There’s nothing like a screened-in porch To help me to relax. It brings to me a comfort My apartment surely lacks. The birdsong and the swishing leaves, The swaying of the trees, Combined with the caresses Of the gentle summer breeze All add up to such a fine retreat That, on this lovely day, Every stressor in my life is somehow Swatted clean away. ...
