Merengue Moon

The bouncing beat Of merengue music At the beach bar pulses Across the Bahamian bay On a mellow breeze, Calling to the palms As they sway their arms To the night rhythm, Inviting them into a dance With the full blue beams That tiptoe across the dark water Eager to step onto the white expanse Lit by the bright disco ball overhead

Sounds like a wonderful place for some rest and relaxation. With all the snow and cold weather here in North Dakota, this sounds like a piece of paradise. Nice use of imagery. Enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind comments. Karen
