Emile Pinet Poet Blank verse

Ubiquitous Smiles

An old boardwalk on the beach
offers a sensory treat,
early on a Summer's morn.

And Nature's artistic brush
encapsulates this hallmark
moment: where beauty excels.

Pastel panels of color,
like cobbled bricks of sunlight
ink the boards, in abstract art.

Orange and blue commingle:
as a mix of sun and sea
collaborate on each hue.

And familiarity,
warrants a much closer look:
drawing you into the scene.

Canopies of skittish leaves
cast fickle freckles of shade:
between beams of dancing light.

Nostalgia finds pleasantries
that you thought long forgotten:
restoring their enchantment.

And placidity's achieved:
amidst ubiquitous smiles
and sounds of children's laughter.

Paul Callus February 21, 2015 at 2:47 PM Hi Emile! I searched for Joe's Corner, and I find that you were well inspired. The picture reminds me also of Butler's Strawberry Patch. The colours spring out; I can understand why 'nostalgia' springs to mind. #7 // paul Emile Pinet February 22, 2015 at 7:12 AM Thank you very much Paul, your support and kind words are very appreciated, Emile.

Monterey Sirak February 21, 2015 at 7:43 AM This is fantastic! The images are great throughout but they really come alive in the "canopies of skittish leaves..." Emile Pinet February 21, 2015 at 1:32 PM Thanks so much Monterey, I am honored, Emile.
