I experience, I ponder, I write..

T'is so peaceful to be under the trees

To feel the soft warm autumn breeze

Laying beneath the sky's vast blue expanse

Watching the leaves perform their arboreal dance

Taking in all these things I fall asleep

Waiting unconsciously for my phone to beep

Once it rings I'll get up and leave

Hoping to remember this beautiful eve...

(written sometime last fall)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

There's no need for dismay

Just summon up this word

And then you've got a lot to say.." ♪♫
