The charm of this one was in it's wonderful simplicity. It told a mundane story of the end of the day, but in a beautiful way. The reader is drawn in. Feels the wind, smells the dinner, tastes the lemonade, sees the sunset, and hears the children laugh. Five senses brought to life in a six stanza couplet poem with perfect meter. Bravo my friend, this was fantastic.
Oh to put your feet up at the end of a long day. Whn the temperature is just right and drifts lazily in a refreshing breeze. Not just any breeze, but a soft fragrant filled caress. I know that I've said this to you before, but I love your writing. This scene is the reason that I built a porch on the front of my house! Your writing ability is the reason that I come back! Great job!
What a lovely poem. I can't wait for summer. You captured a wonderful summer evening to a tee. It beings me back to being a child and chasing my own fireflies. Nicely written
Once again you have painted such an amazing picture with the flow of your words. They are like a gentle breeze on a hot summer day. I see you said you just tossed somethings together that would
be like Bobby Flay through a dinner together.lol. How do you make everything you write, read so
beautifully it is almost magical.

Ah, Jerry, that was lovely. You kept a lazy, easygoing rhythm, with no awkward or forced rhyming. I can picture this easily, can almost smell the feshly cut grass and feel the condensation on the glass of lemonade, as the twilight air starts to cool. I miss fireflies...we don't have them here. Thanks for making me think of them. ;-)
