Queen Sea most adores King Sun when he gleams down upon her skin. As she ripples with delight, her smile is then the sheen of an aqua gown. She’s her loveliest beneath King Sun’s bright light, dancing in joyful waves underneath his gaze, yet wilder is she on wind-swept, stormy days. Before King Sun dips into night, he drapes lace often gold or orange over Queen Sea’s face.

thanks so much, especially after Soup's glitch on your two contests before this one, not allowing me to enter your contests.

Andrea, you can take something simple that we take for granted and describe it in exquisite terms and without disturbing the simplicity of the events. Wonderful personification.
