Summer

~ just a little scribble ~

art ~ garmash

 

 

Caught in the sigh of the ocean breeze

time seems to stand still

 

and today is as easy

as the lace tipped waves

chasing the seabirds into the sky

sharp cries fading with the crash of the tide

as the sun dances a smooth tango of diamond light

in perfect harmony

  

and me

            on the shore…

toes digging into the damp sand

teasing the sand crabs from their cool slumber

 

the breeze in my hair

the sun warm on my face

thinking…

 

absolutely nothing

 

Summer is here

             let time stand still….

My dear friend what can I say about this.
A nice departure from your usual genre. I love the descriptions you captured so well. Things we all experience.
the breeze in my hair, the warm sun on my face, digging toes into the sand, etc.
The reader, me in this case, is slowed in the reading by your intelligent use of indents and spacings and that allows the images to build in the mind. It brings back forgotten moments.
Very well done.

This beautifully captures what it is like to enjoy summer -- that's the one thing I like about the cold, it makes me appreciate the warm.

I love summer. I went to the beach yesterday. A woman with a Angel wing tattoo made me write poetry. We need beautiful places and vision to make us write. I like the beautiful artwork and amazing poetry for summer.

the repetition of "time standing still" helps reinforce this precious momentary snapshot of a charming, relaxing summer's day at the beach.. The very first line is pure magic--whisks me away to imagine the sighing of the breeze as it floats across the water sprinkling scents of salty ocean waves. I love the way you tease all of the senses with this piece. I can hear the seagulls, feel the cool sand as I dig my toes down in there playfully, I feel the sun's warmth beating down on me as the carefree breeze lightly caresses my face. Just laying there with nothing on my mind in a state of revered bliss for the beauty of nature. Elegantly bewitching with such graceful simplicity. I love it!

I can picture the scene just as you have painted it within this touching poem.
How I wish I was there teasing the sand crabs and watching the waves crash in to each other
until the sun sinks into the misty horizon,,,,, with you.

Brings back memories.
