Connie Marcum Wong Poet Sonnet

Summers Heat

The summer sun plays on our emotions
As the fiery orb rises high at noon.
We cast off clothes and apply our lotions
We sun bathe naked near the sea in June.
To swim in the depths of aquatic blue
Immersed in cool waters as the sun sets,
I feel the love of these islands and you,
No matter the costs, we have no regrets.
In mystical rhythms of tropical drums
Our hips gyrate to the pulsating beat.
As we dance close I can feel your heart thrums.
We feel senses rise...caught up in this heat.
Hearts beam with joy in this place we first met
With love's memories we'll never forget.

Joseph P. DiMino June 12, 2020 at 10:36 AM A tropical Island, drums, the scent and breeze coming from the sea beguiling the senses. Love is all that matters -- and Dorothy Lamour in a sarong -- you are too young to remember her. Believe me, any man would be in paradise:) Lovely read, Connie -- very romantic. Connie Marcum Wong June 12, 2020 at 12:59 PM I remember her Joe. I was lucky enough to meet a lot of older movie stars like Ann Miller, Alice Faye, Myrna Loy, Agness Moorehead, Lillian Gish, Shelley Winter's and many more while working. I enjoy watching classic films and I am probably older than you, but I appreciate the compliment. I am glad you liked my poem. Thank you very much. Blessings xxoo

Aditi Mishra June 10, 2020 at 3:26 PM Lovely memories of soothing emotions in summer heat. Took me back to my own from a vacation at a beach. Best wishes for the contest Connie. Much love and blessings :)

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 9, 2020 at 4:25 PM Your poem sizzles in the summer heat, Connie! I never had the courage to sunbathe in the nude. Maybe I should have been more daring in my younger days. Best of luck in the contest...Blessings, Rhonda xx Connie Marcum Wong June 10, 2020 at 5:12 PM There are secluded beaches where there is no one. Tourists don’t know about them and neither do many locals. I would never sunbathe naked in public. Thanks Rhonda. John said he wanted a hot sonnet. xxoo
