A Summer's Day.

Written on a very hot summer's day relaxing outdoor. Nature, nurture.

The hot rays of the sun, beat down upon my face.

An occasional breeze wafts softly over

Cooling, soothing, warming, at a leisurely pace.

The newly cut-grass smells fresh and sweet.

The gentle breeze sways back and forth whilst

birds are singing, squawking, screaming.

High, high far into the blue, blue sky swooping.

The nearby airport echo’s the sounds

of plane engines departing, to destinations abound.

This serene state, abruptly comes to an end.

A big black cat, leaps onto my lap from the ground.

Its long wiry whiskers tickle as my fingers bend.

His purring hollowing heartbeat a sedation.

Somehow this sensation was pure elation.

This creation is just filled with wonderful imagery.
I really liked how you've described the serenity of what most consider everyday life.

"This serene state, abruptly comes to an end.
A big black cat, leaps onto my lap from the ground." - they do tend to be possessive and needy at times. :)

I've really enjoyed this piece - welcome to the cafe! :)

this was a wonderful read. I love summer days...no matter the heat. The smells, the sounds- you captured everything so very well. You painted a lovely picture here...give the kitty a nice scratch for me!

Very imagery, very sunny, very relaxing, and I can feel the summer in this poem.

I favour these two lines especially,

"birds are singing, squawking, screaming.
High, high far into the blue, blue sky swooping."

Thank you.
