Come sit awhile
Relax after a long day
Solitude awaits
As nature surrounds you
With evening breezes
That carry cares away
Bringing joy to your ears
The lullabies of songbirds
Cuddling their young in their nests

Come sit awhile
Relax after a long day
Solitude awaits
As nature surrounds you
With evening breezes
That carry cares away
Bringing joy to your ears
The lullabies of songbirds
Cuddling their young in their nests

Comfortable, cozy cushions
Old fashioned, plump, place
Upholstered in pink flowers
Covered with patterned pillows
Home sweet home’s happy place

#NaPoWriMo Day 2–Prompt: Place
This old couch might be out of style and unattractive to some, but it’s my comfort place and where I often go to relax in the mornings to have my coffee and view the world outside my window.
This is where I often get inspirations for my poetry also.
Sometimes I look at it and can’t believe I purchased it second hand for only $7.00!
It’s a treasure to me and my favorite place, now more than ever since we are in this “shelter in place” time.
Where is your favorite place? Are you able to access it often?

Stay home
Read a good book
Write an inspiring poem
Bake some sugar cookies
Enjoy

Gasp Gasp Puff Puff
Life’s not made of this kind of stuff
Run Run Race Race
Life’s better when you slow your pace
Pant Pant Rant Rant
Stop to smell the flowers by the garden gate
Busy Busy Dizzy Dizzy
Life’s too precious to spend in a tizzy
Just like the movies you watch and the food you eat,
life does have an end time, an expiration date
Take time to breathe. Enjoy every moment before it’s too late
Rhyme

As your life’s partner
God can turn your life around
Relax, let him lead
Senryu

Come and sit a spell
Take a time out today
For a flower smell
Drink in its fragrant perfume
Let the aroma quell
Your anxious heart today
Come and sit a spell
Take a time out today
Enjoy this moment in time

Thoughts on the New Year…
Remain on the beaten path
Or forge a new trail?
Relax in my comfort zone
Or try something brand new?
