dot the “i” of LiFE ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

There are simple pleasures that dot the “i” of LiFE
Making it enjoyable, compensating for the strife
These are my simple i-dotting treasures, it’s true
What are yours? I’d love to hear from you

Watching the sun break through night’s dark
Disappear behind horizons, while I sit in a park
Jumping in puddles midst the down pour of rain
Snowflakes on my tongue, kid-like joy gain

Making snow-angels on snow filled days
Hot chocolate, whipped-cream on my lip stay
Frolicking in autumn’s vibrant leafy pile
Swimming in crystal-clear waters for a while

Watching the countryside as train’s whiz by
Enjoying colored-leaves scenes, autumn beautify
Singing my heart out on a car ride so long
With my favorite guy driving and singing along

Eating ice cream, savoring chocolate’s delight
The “just because” call that puts my heart in flight
A gift “just because” so thoughtful and sweet
Or the gift of flowers, a gesture hard to beat

Tucked in in woolen onesies on a cold winter’s night
Binge-watching my favorite show feels oh so right
Hugging my special guy under starry skies
Eating sweet potato and curly fries

These are simple pleasures for which my heart beats
Making life enjoyable, sadness defeats
Dotting the “i” in LiFE, moments so dear
Simple joys that make life a delightful cheer

Frolicking in autumn’s vibrant leafy pile

So tell me, what are the simple pleasures that dot your LiFE with cheer?

  2. You know, I think about that jingle from Smucker’s from years ago, “Simple pleasures are the best, all the little things that make you smile and glow, all the things you know, life’s simple pleasures are best, are the best, in all the world.”

    Beautiful poem sistah queen! And honey, I am dotting my “i’s” of Life and loving the simple pleasures that cost me nothing, but awareness! 🤗💖🥰💞😘
