Islands In the Stream

turquoise, I’d rather be then haphazard and choppy, still floaters show my age— islands, a chain. not far from Manhattan, dropped in the valley— estranged from the Erie, canal of my hearing rearranged. aloha, doused in leis— not all to my liking but they tempered my hide. travelogue strides— negativity slides into the sea precipitantly. 9/18/2021

WoW! Kim, You’ve composed a well-written write for the contest theme. When I first saw the contest, I thought of the song by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers, but I found out the song lyrics aren’t what he’s looking for. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day and weekend:-) Alexis

Wonderfully done, Kim. You see to have travelled a lot. As a cadet?
