Notes About The Poem

My Fun Custom Temporary Tattoo

Heart singing,

I race through warm sand;

then fling myself to the breeze!

I take the leap from land to water,

riding roller coaster crests.

Soon my skin will wear 

summer’s ink.

Well Andrea, I had to go to page 2 in the comments to find a place to write and what I wanted to write is "I loved it"

...And like the real thing it will sting and require soothing lotion. You've got a pretty good vertical leap going there. congrats

Enjoyed this unique take on the 'sign' theme. Very carefree! It's a pity that summer's ink has to fade, eventually. Congrats on a fine win, Andrea. // paul

Just don't get too brown, cuz when you're old, you'll frown. And all that dried up wrinkly skin will not go up, but down. Moisturize. :)

not to worry, my friend. for the past ten years I have been more careful, going out after 3 p.m and if not with lotion, i put it on my face at least!
