Sunday Afternoon


My view from the deck
On a Sunday afternoon—
A green canopy

A small hummingbird
Flits from tree to tree above
Gathering nectar

Bird songs fill the air
Louder than distant traffic
Trills and chirps abound

A book on my lap
Reading is sweet luxury
Today I indulge

Husband rakes the lawn
Of the windstorm’s destruction
I watch from my chair

Subdue a strong urge
To rise and be productive
Just sit and let be
