Hammock

to laze upon the sea shore
strung between the balmy trees
one feels a part of heaven
touch the stars caress the moon

Good luck in the contest Harry. Heading to the Atlantic shore tomorrow to work for the day. I'll think of you and your poem while checking out the waves splashing against the shore.
