les petites choses — NaPoWriMo Day 18
Calming down with a song,
Dance parties for one,
The sunlight on my bed as I read
And the smell of baking.
Movies with a simple plot,
That perfect cup of steaming tea.
The clouds passing me by
And that exquisite aching.
The wait for something good,
The joy of a kind deed done.
The chirping of birds and the
Smell of the rain on the soil.
The frustrations of art,
A whiff of a fragrance,
The spirit of service and
The reward of hard toil.
Poet’s note: The challenge for Day 18 of NaPoWriMo was to write an ode to life’s small pleasures. While this isn’t an ode in its form, I hope it still captures the feel!
