Immersed in the eternal youthful aura of Peter Pan,
By Kensington Palace I took a ride on the carousel at the travelling funfair,
Across Kensington Gardens I walked through this beautiful park,
Basking in the glorious Summer sunshine and fresh air.
The fragrant flowers all around me were in full bloom,
With an ice cream I retreated to the comfort of a deckchair seat,
On my CD player I listened to the heavenly cool sounds of Sheryl Crow,
By the Round Pond surrounded by cute ducks and geese at my feet.
A hot Summer's day in Kensington Gardens,
What more could anyone want in life,
Relaxing in the heat of London,
Away from the stresses of city strife.

- Comment from author about the poem: At the moment in the UK there has been a heatwave which has lasted the last couple of months. I took a day off work last month and decided to visit one of my favourite parks Kensington Gardens where I used to go to a lot as a child. With my sunhat, sunglasses, portable CD player, Sheryl Crow CD I basked in the summer sunshine and took in the beauty of Kensington Gardens. There was a travelling funfair by Kensington Palace and I rode the carousel. Enjoy ...........

A fine write and place to be Fine.
I woz ere - or rather, I was there. I went through Kensington Gardens on the way to an Art Show in Kensington, though I don't live in London.
Hello Orchidee,
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the poem.
There are so many parks in London but Kensington Gardens is one of my favourites - Regents Park is a close second!

Yes, I went by that pond too. I had very hot day too. A lovely sight. Do you go next door much, to Hyde Park?
Hi Orchidee,
Sometimes I venture into Hyde Park!
To relax in this way can be wondrous. I hope you enjoyed tpyour
Your ice cream(s).
Thanks Goldfinch.
I thoroughly enjoyed my Kensington Gardens sunny experience, my ice cream and Sheryl Crow's cool voice!
I too love the London gardens and even the small squares tucked away between tall old buildings worth a mint - all nostalgic now for my home town. Not sure about the SC bit whoever she is 🙂
Hello Michael,
Thanks.
One of my favourite squares in London is Queen Anne Square, compact, beautiful with.the little statue of Queen Anne in the corner.of it.
