A penchant for the outdoors

G for Gentle Breeze  in the Quest to be Healthy

Swarmed by a realization
Recounting an earlier episode
Of a sudden bout of sniffling nose
Wondering what could be the cause

Pensive in tolerance of irritations
Realizing fully well a mood
Bidding for lots of rest
As was suggested for recuperation
Perhaps that was the reason

A penchant for the outdoors
The love of the gentle breeze
Missing in his life's choices lately

Cooped up to a session of inactivity
How he had missed freedom
To be unshackled from a
monotonous mundane existence
Magnanimous now to his person
He longed for the luxuriant
greenery of Spring!

  2. Ah I fully understand the appreciation to Spring outdoors, after the Winter

    Nice poem

    Here the breeze is good for kite flying but this year the Sahara dust in the gusty winds is causing a lot of ill ease. Hot hot dry weather here

    much love...

  8. Beautifully told. And oh, how I can relate – but the sniffles I am suffering from at present belong to an autumn cold, so instead of looking forward to warmer days coming, I must make sure to rug up.
