Seems Like Summer

how the day looks today

 

The warm sun caresses my face

 

As I lean out the window to peer out

 

My eyes squeezed almost shut

 

Against the glare of the sun high above

 

 

Breathing deeply I smell the faint aroma

 

Garlic bread and baking cakes, from the cafe' below me

 

The quiet murmur of voices heard faintly

 

As they enjoy there midday feasts

 

 

My glance follows the winged expanse

 

Of a gull returning from the sea

 

It's hunt unsuccessful as it looks

 

About leisurely for a free feed

 

 

The rich blue skies, the perfect white clouds

 

Drift by quietly, in a slow breath of wind

 

I can't see the ocean but I can smell it from here

 

I can picture the harbour just out of view

 

 

Where I am sure the tourists abound

 

Laughing and snapping pics of themselves

 

Locals carry on the day, smiling indulgently

 

As a group of Japanese tourists giggle incessantly

 

 

The sun moves slowly across the sky,

 

Preparing itself for yet another spectacular dive

 

Below the horizon and way past the sea

 

Taking the suns warmth away from me

 

 

Seems like summer, yet it is not

 

It may rain tomorrow, then again it may not

 

Seems like summer but it is really the Spring

A day like no other, the smiles that it brings...

Great poem Stormzzz. The images you call forth dance in my head and reminds me of when I was there with you. You have a gift. Keep writing:)

That was wonderful. I've never been to your country, so thank you for taking me there. Mmmm garlic bread! Maybe I'll toss a little bit of it to the seagull.
