Lazy sunlight
stretches
across our sleeping
dog’s long back,
persistent
solar rays
pecking
more grass
and insects
than our
chicken called Tac.
Nearby, our gate
angles outward
casting
checkered
shadows
set in
cement,
rose bushes
revolt raising
red flags,
taking offense
to a fence,
so pointless
to own a
pointed
defense.
All the while,
I silently
watch
behind
the screen
door,
standing like
the lone
potted plant,
comfortable
in terracotta,
transfixed
to a corner
of this
terra firma.

Nice! I wouldn’t mind lying out in the sun with your dog.
Thank you! Pull up a cyber chair and enjoy the solar rays from my screen to yours 🙂
Cheers,
Tyler
I will, especially as the sun is hiding here today.
Hopefully the sun has returned to grace your face as tomorrow comes today…
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
Not yet 😦 but I will take some warmth from your cheerful greeting.
Love the picture!…calm and soothing..like a lazy Sunday!
Thank you! Yes, such a peaceful day to relax and enjoy Nature’s warm radiance 🙂
Cheers,
Tyler

Love the sleeping sun soaking dog and that chicken! Wonder-filled poem as well. 🙂
Thank you, Anna! I’m always scanning my surroundings, drawing on my senses to snap and scribe a story! Hope you have a relaxing weekend, my friend!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
