The Bridge

Sitting under an umbrella table
Pool side
In a setting some may call
A Geriatric Haven.

In today’s modern lingo
The phrase politically correct
Should apply
“In A Gated Community”

Trying to inspire
A few harmless thoughts
Getting away
From Romance and Nature Stuff.
I find myself wanting
To write something benign.

Regardless of the huge
Cottony clouds above
The day is so clear
One can see
Forever and a day.

Across the Lake
From where I’m at
Is an awesome Golf Course
Green as a field of Emeralds.

Electric golf carts
Sporadically
Race into my view
Some stop, to once again
Par
While others are too busy
Chasing their golf balls.

A stone bridge arches the Lake
With it’s magnificent
Roman architecture
Steals the picturesque vista
My humble soul is taking in.

At least you didn't hve to dodge any

Sounded like a very relaxing day William...

Like a mini-vacation to 'set' poolside with you. Thank heaven for
the umbrella to shade us. . .cerulean sky and emerald course,
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.":) Thankee! 'Pea' <3 ___ PS: When my husband and I stayed with a friend whose home backs onto a golf course, he informed us that "not many golfers hit balls into the yard." Later, we found
a huge bucket of balls he had stashed away. J. has never played golf. Guess where the balls came from.:) F o r e !!

We can always delight in all those fabulous external stimuli that give us a sense of well being and relaxation. This made me think of many mental images I've seen AND enjoyed over the last several months.

William, sometimes we all need to sit back, kick off our shoes, and enjoy the beauty around us. This inspires the mind to write and release those things we've never told. I enjoyed this much!

To some old geezers it will be a "Bridge Too Far" and chasing that little ball, exercise or not exercise, is kind of a silly demonstration of violence towards a little, defenseless, and weird looking small thing.
The bridge? a good thing for sore eyes.

It is benign but nice, William. Its quiet serenity is well penned (drat those busy golf carts). Might want to change "Raman" to Roman. It is nice to read something calm for a change!
