Island of Fantasy

sun is hanging ten

as we ride sea's rolling waves. . . .

a paradise found


sun spreads marmalade

in our late warm afternoon. . . . 

the sky eats it up


twilight's sky drips red

a tryst whispered on the wind. .  .

we embrace the night

Gwendolen Song Date: 11/7/2011 10:18:00 PM Oh,...okay...Hang Ten, girl....I get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I think there used to be a clothing line or T shirt company named Hang Ten too. My poor memory is waning. I like your haiku entry bc u tried to touch on more than one thot and encompassed everything PD was throwing out there! I can always expect to be mentally stretched while reading your work...Gwendolen Login to Reply
