Warmin' Up

Swingin' it in sunshine almost 
barefoot skippin' o'er the
grassy courtyard breathin'
freedom.

Smiles you flash
eventually catch
attention to unmentionables.
Air quivers

skin slithers through
broad shoulders dark
flanked supremely.
Wave and wave back.

It's the heat that makes the air quiver; I sense some of that throughout the verse. Nice! :)

LOVE your refreshing free style, Nancy. I was smiling all the way through (chuckled at the "unmentionables"). Sharp and sassy words from a fun lassie. Love, Carolyn
