Poems About Simple Life Moments

A collection of poems about simple and pleasurable moments of life.

“Cocktail Hour”

The early morning light gleamed

Through the dish soap on the counter,

Shining orange,

Into the glass of churning water

Pouring from the faucet,

To make a cocktail

Of water and light.

“Southern Charm”

They drove through patches

Of green, rolling hills,

Under a clear sunny sky.

Stately sunbathed houses dotted the forefront,

And shrunk into the distance.

It looked like fried chicken and lemonade.

“Thirsty”

The water was deeply satisfying.

Savory

As a glass of milk at midnight.

“Home”

Oh, the comfort of something you know how to do –

Like taking a shower after moving to a new house.

Like going for a drive after a first day of work.

Like sleeping in your own bed for the first time after a long vacation.
