Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Oceanside

Colored sails dot the horizon
   fire-orange flecks dip and rise in
Turquoise palettes, sherbet skies...

Demigods lounge g-stringed
   in ocean-front's warm sands 
Bulging their muscles
   Glistening their sweat

~ Tan, the sole tint
      they're aware of as yet

Caren Krutsinger February 7, 2019 at 4:23 AM I am visualizing it, and ready for it, in this winter mix of ice and sleet that is keeping us out of school a seventh day. I am smiling too. Love the imagery, and the whimsy.

Jan Allison February 7, 2019 at 2:42 AM love the imagery and the humour in the second stanza, a delight to read - there will be no Adonis's on our beach today gale force winds and stormy seas!:-) hugs Jan xx Gershon Wolf February 8, 2019 at 9:07 AM Your comment absolutely floors me, Jan! I've looked a number of times for the humor in the 2nd stanza and just can't find it: I'm either blind or have no sense of humor, I guess! LOL. Thanks for clueing me in here, my friend! :) gw
