Anselmo Boles Poet Rhyme

Summer

***Summer's not quiet here yet, but I live in Florida...***




                                                   Summer


       Earth awaken as a plethora of whales disembark from distant places
       Frigid storms dashed into the skies destined to inhabit empty spaces
       Sea captain tell seadogs to hoist skull and bones then fire pirate gun
       White wings outspread dazzling albatrosses herald the season begun


       Bodies swathed in lotion fervently absorb bronzing rays from the sun
       Pushing crusted pails and trowels children tossed pebbly sand for fun
       Bathers in the nude deny nervousness while bravado displays finesse
       Footprints upon shores pay homage to the gods of true summer bliss

Gershon Wolf June 8, 2021 at 5:46 PM Almost like a 'Tale of Two (Different) Seas!' ~ Charles Dickens Anselmo Boles June 10, 2021 at 11:31 AM Haha! I kind of missed your point Gershon. Mea culpa!...ab Anselmo Boles June 8, 2021 at 6:03 PM I've never read a Charles Dickens poem, I'm now going to have to check his work out. Thanks for visiting and pointing it out Gershon. Cheers!...ab
