A Day In Late February Poem by Francis Duggan

This morning behind gray clouds the sun hidden away
But it has turned out to be such a nice day
The sun out and shining with a freshening breeze
In temperatures of near to perfect of around twenty degrees
So pleasant to hear in the sunlit town-park
The familiar song of the magpie lark
And the laughter of the children enjoying their play
Utopia from here cannot be far away
A poet of such natural beauty would write
A poem for others to read and enjoy and recite
And an artist of such a scene to sketch would feel inspired
The beauty of Nature free to be admired
And the willy wagtail on the lookout for flies perched on a garden wall
Just four days away from the Southern Fall.
