Notes About The Poem

Holiday Romance

Cerulean sea
caresses soft golden sands,
palm trees gently sway

Our footprints get washed away…
summer memories remain

Checked with how many syllables

Inspired by Kim’s Color Splash Contest

Your poem reminds me of home Jan. I loved it! I hope I have time to write one, but it is unlikely I have so many appointments to get to now that I am over my bronchitis. It is great to be able to enjoy poetry again and be more active here. Best wishes for the contest. : )

That was beautiful. I like how you started with three lines of imagery and ended with your reflective thought in the last two lines. Awesome.
