DAY AT THE BEACH

come to the sea along with me and let us see what we will be

DAY AT THE BEACH

with soft peach n wine fingers
dawn draws morning across the sky
to slip singing enchantments into the sea
enticing me into the restless water edge
yearning to catch the last song syllable
hoping the spell will hold until darkness comes
drawing the purple curtains of night along
the same path whispering similar chants
of peace and pleasure, kissing the sea
slipping into my soul leaving me
to walk bathed in gentle silver light

rested and replete...

The poem itself is every bit as enchanting and beautiful as the picture is, and the font color really works with the atmosphere of the piece. I especially love all of the beautiful imagery and the effective use of literary devices in this poem; they all add spice to it. This isn't really a criticism, but could you make the font a little bit bigger perhaps? It's too small in my opinion, but that doesn't detract from how much I love this poem at all. Magical performance, I must say!

150/100. I'm speechless. :)

ah "that last song syllable"

beautiful words to describe this picture...love that peach colored sky...being where this is would surely make one feel rested and replete....as the poem expresses.

that "spell" never lasts long enough.
