Excuse me as I wile away the day; The sky is blue and blooms are on display; Sweet fragrance beckons me to linger near Midst present circumstances while they’re here. Tomorrow may bring with it clouds of gray; Torrential rains that threaten long to stay; A dismal gloominess that births despair That leaves me longing for a day this fair. Today the sun is shining on my way And balmy breezes cause the leaves to sway In rhythmic harmony the birds all sing In jubilation that befits the King. So pardon me, I don’t mean to convey That I’m aloof; please do not go away; Recline with me beneath this azure sky Midst present circumstances, you and I. 7/2/2000 |

Denise, This was lovely. Sounds like the perfect day. LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Thank you so much, Sea, Corazon (I submitted the two poems that I wrote for my two grandchildren, I don't want to dilute my 'automatic' votes by submitting more than these. It would thrill me to tears if I actually got those two in the book, but thanks for that *incredulous look*!), Kit, Seymour(come spend the day with me in Rittenhouse Square Park, you'd love it!), Sudhir, Corinne (thanks, I'm glad you like my pic too!) and Mark for reading and for such lovely replies!

Thank you, Gemini, Rex and Rebecca for reading and for such wonderful replies! We have been blessed with some fantastic weather here this past week and still going strong! Quite unusual for July in Philly. Crisp clean air, low humidity, those white puffy clouds against a beautiful blue sky...just perfect! Denise |
