My Back Yard
by Lorri Proctor
Sunday, July 01, 2007
Rated "G" by the Author.
The best place in the world

In my back yard are growing things

and tubs of this and that.

I lean out of the window,

I watch the sun go down

on my back yard.

The bats come flying from the pines.

In circles, round and round,

they skirt the trees

and make their squeaky sound,

the bats in my back yard.

Just listen to that last, sweet chirp

of blackbirds fluting song,

as sleepy birds now roost

in my backyard.

I listen for a long, long time

And watch the sun go down,

peaceful and tranquil

in my back yard.

writing is soul substance

Indeed, looking out to ones garden from the window, it should look like a living picture, as indeed this does...

Reviewed by Louisa Middleton-Blake 7/1/2007

You know I love this sort of poem Lorri, and what a beautiful picture to go with it. You can almost hear those birds singing somewhere in the bushes, just out of sight. Very calming and peaceful.

Love, "Louisa"
