Lazy days of summer

Strolling through the park

Fleeting movement in tree branches

Ascending of the lark

Wild flowers of many colours

Vision for the eyes to see

Shades of yellow, pink and purple

Where butterflies roam free

Nestled on a blanket

Under shelter of the trees

Absorbing golden rays of the sun

Amidst a gentle breeze

Daydreaming of life's pleasures

Under a sky of azure blue

Romantic notions to the fore

Sometimes dreams come true

Our little corner of the world

In which to find inner peace

A private retreat to disappear

Relaxing the mind and stressed decreased

Calm and peaceful environment

To let our thoughts run free

Personal space to reconnect with ourselves

Basic human need called sanctuary

Leisurely stroll along tree-lined path

Down in glorious Devon

Foothpath leads to Cockington

A little piece of heaven

Idyllic setting for a village

Cottage roofs weaved with thatch

Bridged pond adorned with mallards

Proudly swimming with ducklings newly hatched

Romantic horse-drawn carriage ride

Through the country park

Ideal for lovers of any age

To reignite the spark

Commanding stately home and grounds

Envision cricket on the lawn

Partake of afternoon tea

With aspirations of to the manor born

Buried deep inside the treasure chest

Hidden in a tiny box

Amongst old clothes and knick-knacks

And the ticking of the clocks

Double-sided swivel brooch

A keepsake for one so fair

Encasing a portrait of her lover

With a woven lock of his hair

Reminiscing of times long ago

Which seem like yesterday

She gently releases it from captivity

In celebration of Valentine's Day

What secrets are revealed

Whilst mirrored in that chair

All caped or gowned and waiting

For the trusted hairdresser to share

As scissors work at a frenzy

Feverishly between cuts and snips

She listens intently with friendly ear

Empathy at her finger tips

Day after day week after week

So many tales does she acquaint

Remaining focused in the task at hand

But with the patience of a saint

Darkened ruins of Whitby Abbey

As sunlight begins to fade

Casting shadows over ancient gravestones

Where buried bones are laid

Misty apparition dancing

Between the whistling trees

Trick of the mind's eye perhaps

Or a treat on All Hallows' Eve

Perfect setting for a writer's imagination

A gothic tale not to discard

Source of Bram Stoker's inspiration

To pen the famous Count ALUCARD

Gliding along the dusty arid street

With woven sandles on her feet

Red rose adorns her long black hair

Dark eyes illuminate skin so fair

Flower basket on her hip swaying side to side

Her sensuality she does not hide

Radiating beauty and intense heat

Making many a man's heart skip a beat

Enters the cantina to sell her wares

Delivering goods amidst longing stares

Latin music and tequila entices

Succumbing hot-blooded men to their vices

Basket depleted apart from a few petals

In which the pesos now settle

This mystery lady, nobody really knows her

She goes by the name of Senorita Rosa

Butterflies roam free

Wildflowers they do seek

Alighting each delicate petal

On which to rest their tiny feet

Eagles soar into the sky

In search of unsuspecting prey

Maintaining life's intricate balance

It is just nature's way

Apple mango tea

Sipped from a china cup

Soothing for the soul

To lift the spirits up

Unicorns are magical creatures

Their beauty undefined

Gliding through one's imagination

Pure fantasy comes to mind

Time is of the essence

A precious commodity

Utilize it wisely

Let your dreams run free

Inspiration comes from different sources

Allowing creative juices to flow

Adding beauty and enrichment to our lives

By design, art, poetry and so

Flowers planted in an ornamental garden

Nourished with tender loving care

Producing an array of amazing colours

For everyone to share

Unconditional friendship

From the heart so freely gifted

Always there in time of need

Until the darkened clouds be lifted

Love and romance needed

To captivate one's heart

An indescribable feeling

Don't even know where to start

Our online friends touch us daily

From different walks of life

Enveloping us with warmth and kindness

To ease the pain and strife

Some live just around the corner

Others an ocean apart

Each struggling with their hopes and fears

Soul searching deep within the heart

Over time the bond strengthens

Of that it is a fact

Through emotional and economic crises

Our circle of friends remains intact
