Inspired by VJ’s Weekly Challenge – Trees & Sadje’s What do you see #83
with the sun fully shining
there is no cover from trees
in the middle of the lake
beer is guzzled and laughter ensues
fish are caught in abundance
as the sunburns are doled out evenly
when the bright sun fades
behind the sky-darkening clouds
the boats and people return home
Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip inspired me to share this with you!
I
want my
skin immersed
in warm, wet silk.
Soothing envelopment of my body
heals and reenergizes my mind and limbs.
I’ll splash in this
malleable
moisture
here.
The Wedding Dress
fuzzy empty clouds
dandelion skeletons
of half-blown wishes
and breezes blow
grey flowers sway underfoot
cow parsley shadows
trickling storm streams
carry specks of stolen light
into sunless earth
~~
soft leaves are bouncing
stems sway with flutters of green
swollen raindrops fall
~~
dipolar sunshine
lane lies clothed in lace shadows
footsteps of light and shade
~~
sea thistle towers
bees bumble through barbed flowers
wearing pollen shoes
~~~

#TheShortofIt
emerging sunshine
rays of hope lifting me up
new day commences
From here I wish a quick departure
to visit a people alive with culture
I want to venture to a foreign land
be free to escape the daily demand
A bucket list item for many a year
want to scratch an itch so severe
Blue skies and white beaches beckon me
where lovers and bronze bodies are free
A history rich with art, poetry, and technology
where sophistication spawned prodigy
A magical destination calls my name
oh, Greece, you’re my aim
Inspired by Hélène Vaillant – What Do You See 1/22/19
beautiful white snow
deceiving
in the dark night
icy and cold
chilled to the bone
layers, way too many
your world is sunny
rather visit there
wanting to thaw out
beautiful white sand
inviting
in the bright day
oh, do let me come stay with you!
I
have a
wonderful,
spectacular
memory beckoning me to the beach!
Immersed in sea water.
I feel silky.
Enveloped by the ocean wind.
I feel protected.
Captured by the sun.
It’s positivity raining down on me.
Nature’s good side makes me glad to be alive.
