Alexis Y. Poet Imagism

Sailing Adrift

As I sailed in a small ivory sailboat
on crystal blue waters. 

The wind gently blew through my 
mahogany hair.

Next, I saw dolphins doing backflips 
out of the water causing a ripple
effect. 

Then as I sailed some more I saw 
a school of rainbow fish swimming 
upstream.

Up above me, I saw a flock of birds 
soaring high in the azure sky. 

As the golden orb shined down on 
me as I sailed adrift in the ocean
blue, on a Sunday afternoon.
