Summer Moon

Soft is the sunrise of a marmalade dawn Unblemished as it sparkles to the waves as they yawn Mesmerizing rhythm of waters ebb and flow Making sweet music in the early morning glow Eventide will descend with the setting sun Releasing shades of twilight so heavenly spun Mellow is luna as she comes into view Overlooking the sea with her golden hue On the beach lovers take a stroll Neath starry skies as rhythmic waves roll

Dear Joseph, I love the way you describe the "marmalade dawn" as well as the rhythm of the ocean. Nothing is more soothing that watching the moon while you stroll on the beach. Wishing you great success in the contest with your terrific acrost, my friend. Love, Carolyn
