Saturday’s Cryptoquote

 

“I am summer come to lure you
away from your computer
come dance on my fresh grass
dig your toes into my beaches”—Orina Green

A bit or rough poetry contest for Dilly Dally.  The aim was to post an unedited poem and write about something we feel and see

A bit of rough Poetry Contest

Seventh Place
 
 
 
Contemplative bliss communes with the serene, into the spirit of the placid marine crystalized in my mind. As the sun’s reflection spreads glitter upon its open sea, throngs milling to the melodious tunes of the guitar. Strumming troubadour, slim and rangy toe headed youth grins modestly as his tip jar fills welcoming spared bills And to the sounds of the seagulls gleeful squawk, soaring through the azure. Beyond the pier the magician plies his trade, tricks which awe and stun the enthusiastic crowds gathered about. And what lovely crowds willing, mellifluous, madrigal, thoughtful, kind, and respectful. Smiles abound as though the world conspires for a pleasant mood. I inhale the familiar primordial sea air’s briny scent. I take pause to ponder gazing out onto the vast ocean’s expanse. How much longer can I bare this aching fulfillment as I anxiously transpose these images and feelings into meriting words.

So cool. It reminded me of times long ago when we were in the Bay area and would watch the street people by the harbor in San Francisco. Congrats on your win

Dear Anaya, a poem that deserves praise. We have few beaches in Malta, but we keep them clean.

I also found this in the Times Malta..."Is Malta dumping untreated sewage at sea, despite EU-funded plants?" Swimming banned in part of Quisisana Beach, swimmers told to avoid Balluta Bay, declared unsafe for swimming after water testers detected the presence of E.Coli Enterococci bacteria. Both types of bacteria are generally considered to be indicators of sewage or animal waste contamination. Fact-check Times of Malta logo Copyright © 2024 Times of Malta. All rights reserved. Agius' concerns echo those of the European Commission, which in May this year started legal proceedings against Malta for violating the EU's urban waste water directive.

I can imagine, I checked Mallieha Beach looks fabulous! Marine littering is a global concern and every single year tons of litter end up in the ocean all around the globe.
