Notes About The Poem

Rondelet

Take a Trip from Reality

Embrace the sea,
Far out, a salty binge of air.
Embrace the sea -
Take a trip from reality.
I’ll find a beach, beyond compare,
Where natives play with much fanfare.
Embrace the sea.

Coconut palms,
Port and Starboard sway, in warm air.
Coconut palms,
With their tropical-scented balms.
Cut fruit open, sip island air.
Underneath tree, hold rounded fare -
Coconut palms

Ship ahoy sad!
Steering in the wrong direction.
Ship ahoy sad -
I care not to head home. I’m mad.
Warm tan - I’ll miss this complexion.
For the sea, I’ve such affection -
Ship ahoy sad.

Can imaging the milk inside. Lovely poem. Kim Rodrigues June 5, 2025 at 4:26 AM Thank you, my friend! My dad, likewise, stays mostly home. He still drives short distances.
