I contemplated taking off
on a sabbatical to write poems
dip my pen in the emerald ink
of Mother Earth
Not too far away...
can't neglect household chores
and piles of dishes....
but where.....?
my mind tapped its fingers
Parks and woodland settings
offered the tranquility and
seclusion I craved
if it weren't for the relentless
broiling humid heat
Where.... ..with AC.... please....?
Aha!
Turkey Creek Library!
Nestled in a sanctuary of
towering pine forests
swampy wetlands and a
meandering stream
it's cool, it's quiet,
it's perfect
But the Turkey Creek Library sounds like a wonderful place to go and enjoy the ambience of a wooded wetland while inside with AC and lots to read and contemplate as you draft your poems to the sound of a gurgling stream.
