An Unexpected Pleasure!

A new week starts in morning mist

The schools go back (a mental twist

As not all pupils claim their desks!)

While birds nearby are building nests.

 

My plants, still safe inside, seek sun

As springtime growth has now begun;

Post-Easter - traffic back on track

I peep outside, the cold is back!

 

With floor now swept with battered brush

I frame the doorway, there’s no rush.

When a neighbour with large dogs in tow

Passes by and says: “Hello!”

 

A brief exchange in narrow street;

But oh-so-nice to stop and greet;

We share a moment not “on line”

Which cheers this poet’s heart big time!
