The best place in the world

Poem Artwork

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.

Loretta, I come to your poetry expecting something wonderful and I am never disappointed. This is such a pretty, tranquil write. One day I will venture to the UK and we will sit in your garden in the evening and share a coffee and a chat!
Lovely!

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

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"
