A trip down south to join the party. 1,000 miles on a Harley, you've got to be hearty. But let the breeze blow, we're off to the show. I think at least once in a lifetime everyone should go. Peace. :) Never been, bty. :)

They sparkle within the sunlight, those beads do, but also shine within the night light as well! I love the atmosphere of this poem that you so exquisitely described here my friend! What an astonishing piece, Great Work!!

oooh, I am wondering about the Harley now. Good one, Donna. My hubbie owned a Harley for a few years and I even went to a few biker conventions, or whatever they call them. Those were the days!!
