Notes About The Poem

"Misty Dawn" by award-winning photographer Shahbaz Majeed.

Misty Dawn On Loch Rusky

beneath a blushing sky
two idle boats
savour
the bliss of solitude
our fingers entwine

[Inspired by Shahbaz Majeed’s "Misty Dawn".]

The imagery in your poem is simply stunning Paul. Such a romantic write of hushed serenity. Captivated as I am, I again linger and savor the feelings of your blissfully poetic lines. An amazing pic as well. Warmest wishes dear friend.. ~Susan

Thank you, Susan; your poetic comments are a pleasure to read...and to savour:) In this case it was the picture which inspired the poem. Sending you warm regards, my friend. // paul

7. When I read something like this - and it's not all that often - all the myriad colors of space look down and smile. Such beauty in such a perfection. Cheers, Paul.

Being offshore in a boat can be quite the romantic experience, Paul, and your poem is a beautiful description that goes well with the photograph. Some of the most romantic moments I can remember were on the boat I owned. I love the photo as well as the poem. A fave for me! Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you for your lovely feedback, and the fav, Carolyn. I've been on boats belonging to friends, but never had the pleasure of owning one! Hugs // paul
