A Modern Place

As the sun rises over the ocean And breezes swirl the palms My thoughts turn to when I was young Not that long ago this island Was a different kind of place Now every inch is robed in condos Gone is the quiet of solitude's grace Gone is the simple gait A new era has entered Where life is a noisy honky tonk pace Written June 04, 2013

Ha ha, you must've entered a bar or something by the looks of this place, or what I have imagined especially by the words, "honky tonk pace" At least that is what I imagined my friend! I really enjoyed reading this awesome piece, such a delightful poem Sara! What a fun write, Great Work!!
