Taste of Paradise

A crystal clear transparent blue, with slow and steady waves.
A distant waterfall creates a misty hue, and shields a near-by cave.
lawn chairs scattered throughout the cove, umbrellas are drawn for shade.
Up yonder rests a coconut grove, where children run and play.

Another awesome poem, Jared! Beautiful images. Now, if you put there a loving couple, parents of some of the children, you'll have heaven. :) Thanks for sharing and again thank you for your nice comments on mine. Caroline.
