Pacific Pleasures

A mirror of blue and aqua hue Glass that expands over endless miles Enjoyed within the gloaming view Palm Trees sway on verdant isles Glass that expands over endless miles Melodies float upon rainy mists Palm trees sway on verdant isles Where ocean waves and blue skies kiss Melodies float upon rainy mists Mermaids play and sea nymphs hide Where ocean waves and blue skies kiss He listens to the roaring tide Mermaids play and sea nymphs hide Enjoyed within the gloaming view He listens to the roaring tide A mirror of blue and aqua hue

Cheryl, you seem to be having a real grip on the pantoum weaving such beautiful images. Loved the poem. ~karam~

Lucky to have a mentor. I am self-taught but thank my teachers from my childhood days who introduced me to the basics. I, too had a terribly long spell of the poetic block, but I am back again, hopefully, my spell of being inspired will last now. The contests are a wonderful platform to push us on! Can't thank the sponsors enough. ~karam~

Thank you. I had a top notch coach in writing Pantoum. It's still challenging. I'm trying new forms as well. I had a 4 year block and just recently began writing again..

This is very beautiful Cheryl. My kind of poetry with breathtaking imagery. Have you been to Hawaii? It seems like you are describing my island. #7 ; ) Aloha, Connie

On Hawaii Hilo and Hoolaulea and and near Waipio Valley. Maui visits, and missed Kauai thanks to hurricane Iniki.

Connie, I lived on Hawaii. On Oahu, Punaluu, was on almost all for about 12 -14 years... lost count. Livied in Samoa. Went to Fiji briefly. I was teaching as a Missionary. Then some time in Oregon country. Yep I have those images firmly implanted. I'm homesick,hate California but necessary with elderly parents. Thanks for asking and a kind greeting
