In the Dappled Shade

"Life is serene on a hammock with the ocean waves crashing behind you" - by Poet Beautiful beach beckons, its sand pristine, Crashing wild waves, melody to the soul, Cacophony of seabirds sounds divine, Bathed by the sea, my bare feet take a stroll, In constant motion, the sea billows roll; The ocean has the upper hand, so calm, I sit in the dappled shade of the palm, Swinging in a hammock, resting my eyes, The soothing swell in the background, sweet balm, Perfect peace envelops me, no surprise! 02.04.2022 For Constance La France's "D forms - Dizain" contest
