Notes About The Poem

Sapphire Skies

In sapphire skies dabbled with marshmallow clouds, a citrine sun shines like a precious jewel. And I rush to the beach to avoid the crowds, hoping to find a shady spot where it's cool. The humidity morphs into drops of sweat, and my entire body is soon sopping wet. But once I get there, it's not such a bummer, just a typical hot day in the summer. (Rispetto) 7/7/2018
