Premiere Contest WinnerRiver Life and Beauty

River Life and Beauty

Brown skin girls 
with their babbling babies,
romance the river god
scattering petals of red hibiscus.

Naked honeyed bodies
shamelessly glow golden, 
as ripples slowly trickle down
lithe sun-kissed legs.

Cool silver droplets brazenly
caress taut, dark nipples.

Well, I would virtually swear I saw them in Mauritius, and again in Fiji. Yep ... Brown Girls know how to hae fun. Inspiring write, with echoes of Tolkien and Middle Earth.
