Latest in poetry: Bits and pieces

By Ann Clinton
Walking on a sandy beach eating a peach ice cream cone
Enjoying sunny days, blue skies and warm breezes
Listening to birds chirping as they go about morning chores
Watching children riding on the swings in the park
Reading a good book by sunlight
Having a great conversation with a good friend
Waiting with presents ready for the holiday season to begin
Spending an afternoon walking through an art museum
Dining with family at a fine restaurant
Riding the Staten Island ferry for an adventure in the city
Baking chocolate chip cookies
Relaxing in an easy chair watching a good TV program
Sitting in a warm home as snowflakes cover the ground
Trying on an old dress and finding it still fits
Visiting with grandchildren and listening to their hopes and plans
Sharing special events with family and friends
Planning a special vacation
