Beneath The Lilac Canopy
The July sun made my eyes squint .
A brisk wind washes my face ,
As the water swirls in gentle circles
from below .
Beneath the Lilac Canopy ,
Books are scattered around ,
As I rested in the shade on the cotton
hammock .
I can hear the olive trees swaying in
the breeze, As the mountain's echoed
a river song in my ears.
All the flowers bloomed as the rain shaken
Chicago stars fell from the sky.
Serenity as the evening has awakened,
As the birds chirped and the owl hooted
giving the faint reminder that Dawn has
fallen into Dusk .
The mini lop rabbit sped into the bushes
disappearing out of sight .
"Goodnight Mr Owl! " and with that I drifted
off into sleep .........

I got the inspiration to pen down this poem, after reading the " The Raven " by Edgar Allan Poe. The rhyme scheme soothened my mind and inspired me to write these lines .
