Premium Member This Afternoon a Happening
THIS AFTERNOON
The sun shone.
I mowed the lawn today,
it had rained for the past week;
The grass was lush,long
I could smell
Autumn coming....

Premium Member Friday Afternoon
Friday afternoon a Jew's week winds down
His affairs wrapped up before sundown
   
   He puts away his workman's dress
   Then dons his finery, his Sabbath best...

Premium Member A King's Finery
Friday afternoon a Jew's week winds down
  His business shuttered
     Tired sun sinks toward the ground  

 A workingman puts away his modest dress
  ~ A newly crowned king dons his Sabbath best...

One Afternoon
One afternoon, a meeting goes endless
With all the long talk, it seem meaningless
The man seated next to me,
Buzzing like a bumblebee,
Makes a loud snoring sound, rousing the guests

He Wears a Blue Hot Uniform
On a hot spring afternoon, a wet postman
Hurries down the sidewalk home.
I catch him stepping on a new white iris,
And were I not alone, I would but
Scold him, but I would not, instead,
I wouldst hand him a cold coke for his dripping head,
Then pat him on his shoulder and pick up a dropped letter,
On this unseasonably hot afternoon....

Premium Member The Water Listens
Asleep at night, tucked into dreams
   Waves retreat, the water beats

Soft awake, whispered words
   The water's there, waves silent prayer

A wintry morn, the sun's rays bright
   Waves glisten, the water listens

Late afternoon, a chill return
   Waters merge, whitecaps surge

Moonlit eve, hearts on sleeves
   Waves subside, the waters glide...

Premium Member Thoughts On a Rainy Day
Gloom of morning comes calling
With fog rolling off her back
Gray skies are equally appalling
When nimbus clouds are black
Bringing steady rain without slack.

Late afternoon a feeble sun appears
To brighten an otherwise dreary day
Lifting our spirits as evening nears
Lets us believe all is going to be okay
Tomorrow blue skies will be so gay.

Coffee
Grind the beans and start the pot.
Listen to it percolating - Smell
Drifting into the kitchen, ahhhh.
Patiently waiting to wake up, hot
Steaming brew. Milk, sugar in cup.
Two morning drinks. Afternoon, a
Little libation, eases into the head.
Bingo - Coffee, Kahula, Brandy, 
Whipped cream. Yummy, just right.
When I was working, I would drink
My coffee from morning until night....

Late One Afternoon
It happened late one afternoon.A wink of an eye,a smile on a face,a sweaty palm,a shaky 
hand,it happened late one afternoon.A walk in the park,dinner for two,the sharing of one 
fork,a pallet on the floor,it happened late one afternoon.Holding hands in public,a kiss for no 
reason a hug because your here,a midday back rub,it happened late one afternoon.What 
happened you ask?I'll tell you my friend , what happened late one afternoon,its love,i fell in 
love late one afternoon....
