The Blue Sundress

As the long, frigid winter comes to an end She pictures a dress like none other- quite a vision! A sundress in her favorite color of sky blue Made of softest blue chiffon with mixed patterns Held in place by strap-like sleeves, and finest pearls And a fitting lower back cut, made to hug She smiles as in her mind she conceives They would have a quiet dinner at the sea shore Followed by casual dancing beneath the stars In the quaint, quiet gazebo hand made with white lattice Lit by whimsical lanterns swaying in the southern winds Which soften the mood to match the haunting sounds of the obo As the night grows deeper, wrapped warm in loving arms They’d stroll along the beach, two hearts finally at peace He would laugh as a soft, gentle wind billows her skirt Lightly brushing bare back as he steals a sweet kiss And lost to the world they'd be, amidst soft pounding of ocean surf Then spend the night in the dunes up on the hills to await The fiery glow of sun rise; welcoming a new and glorious day! ~*~

Gosh, if a sundress can lead to such a romantic journey, maybe I need to buy one! Your poem has so many beautiful images -- really liked imagining the couple strolling along the beach after a seaside dinner. Love it, Annalise! Best wishes in Constance's contest, Carolyn
