Back to poetry

The sea, the hills,
a room with a view;
A treat, a dance,
learning something new.
Helping because you can,
the doing of a good deed;
Ahh, it is The Simple Pleasures,
upon which the soul does feed.

A sit in the sun,
with a lover or a friend;
A drop or two of tranquil,
when the day is at an end.
A book, a song, a story,
breaking your heart like a stone;
A stroll engulfed in nature,
when you are on your own.
The warm embrace of family,
the company of kith and kin;
The smile that brings forgiveness,
for a much-regretted sin.
The friendly nod from a stranger,
their understanding smile;
The progress of yer ain folk,
for whom you'd go the extra mile.
An afternoon in one’s own company,
recuperation from the noise;
An 'out' out night in the city,
the cacophony of the girls and boys.
