Surfriders At Play

surfriders at play silver swimmers ride the waves porpoising ~ surfriders at play playful ocean clowns jolly jesters jump and joke ~ a smiling whimsy dolphin songs echo lyrics of trills clicks and squeaks ~ seafaring minstrels seven seas pilgrims models of athletic grace ~ argent illusions ocean mysteries lustrous skin like sea satin tender skin sunburns 4-19-22 Contest: Brian Strand Premiere Choice Sponsor: Brian Strand

Greetings JCB! Like you I think of dolphins in the summer, the ocean and the beach - something wonderful to look forward to after winter! So glad you enjoyed this haiku string. So much fun to write. I really enjoy writing haiku so full of opportunities for vivid imagery. Am loving your poems on the arts - bringing them to light! Saw your soupmail and made the correction. Was in a hurry to get it entered and I didn't do a great job of proofing! So appreciate your note! Blessings dear friend.

Andrea, thank you so much. As you can see I am way behind in answering emails! Thank you for your patience. Holidays, birthdays, family gatherings, guests and finishing the house have made a severe dent in my time! Dolphins really bring a :) to my face. They are such happy clowns!
