Mexico

A Poem by Pete
"

My life is like a stroll upon the beach. - Thoreau

"
Plein air pastelling in Mexico with a mucho limited palette - How to Pastel

'twas that time of year
sun smiling ear to ear
balmy shoreline drives
surf rising up like a pinata and smacking high fives
sand soft like candied cotton
good times and memories there tidally begotten
salsa and sunsets not easily forgotten

sly breezes motioning
slick skin lotioning
a shot of salted tequila
grandeured view from a comfy villa
fold your poncho
don your sombrero
it's time, once again, to go
so,
check your mailbox
i'll send you a postcard from deep down in
mexico

Author's Note

Pete
"We often love to think now of the life of men on beaches,--at least in midsummer, when the weather is serene; their sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and bayberries, their companion a cow, their wealth a jag of driftwood or a few beach plums, and their music the surf and the peep of the beech-bird." - Thoreau

Nothing is wrong with dreaming; I hope you make it one day. Beware of the Cartels targeting Americans. We don't want to lose a famed poet.
In the meantime, let us enjoy some good Mexican food. Cheers!
