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. 03/06/2022 Contest: I Forms- Imagism Sponsor: Constance La France
