About This Poem

Phantasmagoric



I look outside I don't see snow I don't see ice on the trees All I see is palm trees and ocean As far as my eyes can see Must've died and gone to heaven Could explain this feeling euphoric Or maybe coz I'm lying on a beach It's utterly phantasmagoric They say temps are below normal But this guy ain't feeling no freeze I'm sure not shivering uncontrollably No knocking down in my knees It'll definitely be over way too soon So I'll enjoy myself while I can I'll slather myself up with SPF 30 And end up with a gorgeous tan When I get back to civilization And show off my sun tanned bod Ladies will swoon and faint away To see this adonis-like god! © Jack Ellison 2013 Wrote this last year while enjoying a vacation in sunny Florida!

    Boy, am I jealous, it's so cold here it would freeze the ringlets off a brass monkey. How I long for a beach. Lucky you Jack, enjoy!

    Soon as we sell our house, it's "Florida here we come!!!" I heard a different version of that old saying which used a different word than "ringlets"! LOL Big hugs, Jack xox

    The last time I laid on a beach, I got so sun burned, I hurt for days and peeled like a snake. Not a very pretty site. But oh how I love the time of doing nothing. Enjoyed your poem-thanks Jack.
