Afternoon Relaxation
Afternoon Relaxation
The afternoon’s sun sinks into the tree lined horizon
I sit on a porch swing
One leg curled under me
My other leg dangling
The afternoon’s breeze caresses my face
I gently, rock back and forth
One foot anchored to the on the porch
My toenails shine strawberry red
The afternoon’s warmth envelopes me
I hold a dish of melting vanilla ice cream
One cherry perched on top
My tongue wishes is it was a strawberry instead
