Adirondack Bliss by Margaret Bednar, June 6, 2013, Arts Happen 365

 

Every day I pause,
wish to sit a spell
upon cedar and cypress,

enjoy spring's labor
and sip a tart lemonade (spiked),
shaded by a floppy straw hat,

soak in the warmth
a southern spring serves,
while lilies and angelonia

wave colors bright,
a novel cradled upon my lap,
a dog beneath pampered, pedicured feet.
