Day Dreaming

Day Dreaming

Sitting at my window, dreaming
Thinking of my yesterdays
Warmed inside by sunlight streaming
Keeping winter’s chill away

I close my eyes as thoughts surround me
Sitting at my window, dreaming
I watch my children playing, carefree
Hearing giggling and screaming

Children always plotting, scheming
In their make-believe play land
Sitting at my window dreaming
I wish those times were still at hand

There’s a slight chill in the air
As the sun has lost its beaming
Still I linger in my chair
Sitting at my window dreaming

Aww Janet... it sounds to me like you're daydreaming, even reminiscing, about lost time and memories of the past. I do the same thing and I'm only 21.... but this poem still speaks volumes to me. This is a tremendous write my friend... I'm glad that it's not too sad though, and that the children seem to be happy

Great Quatern form, Janya and a beautifully, dreamy poem. Ideal subject for the form and I love your rhyming throughout. Including the children, with their make-believe, makes the story gentle and supports the speaker's day-dreaming. The sun also gives this piece a time-line. I'll move this to the Classic Forms board for you. Exalt! H x

time has a way of building a picture book full of memories without you even really being aware time is passing, then one day, you can sit back and look through that book of memories, while looking outside your window and seeing sights that remind you of days gone by.

loved it my friend,

Daniel
