A Mellow Afternoon Poem by C R Clark

A Mellow Afternoon

Rating: 5.0


A cool Thanksgiving afternoon
Cousins, at grandpa’s, hard at play
Parents, all visiting, on the porch
The sun shone bright, a bluebird day

Covering a gently rising knoll
Tall, latent grass, a chestnut shade
Sheltered there, I lay me down
In heaven’s warmth, to luxuriate

‘Twas here in tranquil solitude
My mind explored illustrious paths
And rode on waves of mellow dreams
At peace in a billowing sea of grass

This poem painted a peaceful contented scene. I love the way you tied the word mellow in the text to the title. I think many people would be envious of such a delightful afternoon. Karin Anderson
