A Sunny Afternoon Poem by David Harris

A Sunny Afternoon

Rating: 5.0


When I was young
along time ago
and lived in a different country.
I used to go into the back garden
and sit on my swing.
Rocking back and forward
I used to gaze up in the sky
and watch the Daks flying
across an unmolested sky
on a sunny afternoon.

Something fascinating watching these machines, flying precariously above our heads. A sort of adoration for them. Those were the days. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
