Lazy Day Poem

Listening to the rain

On this cold and rainy day,

I wondered if I had anything to say.

Outside it feels like fall,

not like summer at all.

I’m home and can’t do a lot

since I just got the second booster shot.

Perhaps I will go for a leisurely walk

and find a neighbor willing to talk.

For now I will find a warm sweater.

It’s cozy, and I already feel better.

Perhaps instead of walking a lap,

I will just lie down for a nap.

I am grateful for these lazy days

when I don’t have to rush around in a maze

of things to do and work to complete.

Instead, I can just go to sleep.

A glass of tea with honey would also be nice.

On a cool day like this we don’t need any ice.

Yes, some tea and the cake that is ready to eat.

On a cool day like this I need something sweet.

So I am writing this poem without any haste,

happy that this day didn’t go to waste,

while the rain keeps falling in a steady beat

and I can enjoy this lazy day like a treat.
