Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Tropic Isle

Breathe in sweet scents of tuberose
And let fine mist caress your face,
Dive deep into aqua waters—
Become enchanted with this place.

Edlynn Nau July 8, 2019 at 12:25 AM Made me miss Tahiti. I miss Moorea where the Southern sky at night would wink with strange stars. Have you ever been lost at night because they were all the wrong stars? Anyhoo, it was fun to be back on that island. Thanks for transporting me.

Vijay Pandit June 26, 2019 at 12:01 PM A beautiful stanza you picked for the contest--all the best Connie. Connie Marcum Wong June 26, 2019 at 12:56 PM Funny we just had two days of pouring rain and thunder and lightning (which rarely happens). For some reason, we just don't get thunder and lightning here like Florida does. Thank you Vijay. : ) xxoo
