O Like A Summer Day.....

Dragging heavy chains,
We sang old songs as sun baked
-slow death by chiggers.

Picnic blanket spread,
I read poetry to you
-breeze goes well with wine.

Hiking through woods,
We saw a deer in clearing
-looking back at us.

Sun shines on lush lawn,
Children run slow through sprinkler
-cold water soothing.

Small girl tugs Papa,
Bringing him to the park's swings
-her winged chariot.

One Single Impression: A Summer Day

To Be Free, Or Not To Be Free? That's The Question. (Sorry Will)

For One Single Impression: Freedom

A bear runs over fields
To the stream, pawing out fish
-then to the campsites!

I pushed the kickstart,
I felt power through each atom
-wind going through hair.

After forty years
They finally released him
-an old man, but free.

I should make a choice.
Darn it! Now I can't decide
-I had to do that.
