Alesia Leach Poet Couplet

Seasonal Color

Strolling along the white sandy beach 
Aquamarine waves lapping over my feet 

A gentle breeze brushing against my skin 
Billowy clouds hide a cerulean sky within 

So I took a dive into the aquamarine sea 
It's dark silky depths enclosing me 

Swimming fiercely into the tides 
Through the chartreuse seaweed I glide 

A tangerine octopus smiles up at me 
As sea lemons hide in the coral reef 

Sea horses spin pieces of sea lavender 
Through my green and ruby watermelon hair 

Fastening saffron flowers about my neck 
As I hover above a woeful shipwreck 

Lips are shined with pale lilac shells 
As above a summer wind swells 

Always returning to where I belong 
Casting spells as I sing my song
