Dana De Jong Poet I do not know?

Sand-Splattered Faces

Soft orange light permeates moist skin;
Cascading down through 
Wild Sun-bleached locks 
Tickling zig-zag patterns 
Across a small round chin.
Warm splinters of sensations spread 
As droplets dribble;
Reverberating in skin-prickling dendrites
Little-by-little
They weave through each other 
And gently cause
Hair follicles
To stiffly pause.

Wide eyes venture
Spirit Soars
Light blustering breezes bump
Against sun-stained sores
Crawl across stretched toes
That tangle themselves
In cool
Wave-weathered sand.

-Quickly-
Specks of sand-water elevate
Tanned legs carry eager faces forth
Blistered feet lift nimble bodies
In joyous grins 
Sand-splattered faces contort.

Duck, dive! Roar, rout!
Leap, lob! Sprint, shout!

Joyous grins wear sand-splattered faces
Sand-splattered faces free from doubt.

Carol Sunshine Brown May 17, 2011 at 10:58 AM I am so pleased to have had the pleasure to read your poetry this afternoon Dana. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hoping you have a week filled with inspiration. Love, Carol Dana De Jong May 18, 2011 at 9:54 PM Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I started writing poetry rather recently, and am looking for any contructive criticism from other people who are experienced in poetry. I've always felt inspired through writing, but only recently have I actually penned it, so I don't really know very much! Thanks for the support:D
