Hearty Island Vacation

Hearty Island Vacation Hurray, hurray, step on the gas family summer break jumps today! We started out late, Jessica kept stumping "whining" we stopped by the horse corral, he was neighing. We’re going now, through dusty desert and long lonely stretch unmoving in Barstow, California, so not many excitements. We’re scanning for dinner; will it be pizza? We want something good and tasty! Heavy five o’clock traffic, oh what a mess. We went to sleep with dream of island in our head. The next day awoke and ran out to door. We drove west, smell of the ocean the cool, morning air embracing with its fishy smell. Boat’s nose rose, like the airplane on a boat in the water feeling free. The sky above, clear and blue with the wind blowing in my face. Arrived at the Catalina Island, so beautiful, yet so overlooked. The little island, my heart it took it was all I could do to stop, watch and listen. To the tides slapping on the rocky shore.

Sharon Welch, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
