(a poem in several Haiku and Senryu stanzas)
The molten gold sun
on cerulean canvas
breeze borne cirrus clouds
flawless days stretching
like sun-kissed bodies - crisp white
linen cabanas
lips roughly sore from
innumerable kisses
we shimmer white hot.
Lulling rhythmic waves -
heavens extravagant taste
- on leisure sculpt days
masterpiece pleasures,
love’s instigative brushstrokes,
paint compelling joy
.

Our Day Will Come by Amy Winehouse
Heat Wave by Linda Ronstadt

The smile vanished from the yellow orb, angry clouds swoop in
Gentle waters drift to shore no more, as white-capped waves storm in
Birds flee south; animals take cover; my will perceptibly weakens
Soft breezes carry knives inside; fence-gates ajar and creaking
Cabanas shuttered, boarded up; hardy anglers sense defeat
Autumnal gales blow full force... Summer's shamed, full-fledged retreat

Glowing orange, cloud coals burn
reflections into low tide evening surf,
slap lapping against scattered shells,
ripe fruits for hungry sea tramp's picking.
Itinerant thoughts, aimless as seaweed drift,
scatter like bands of sandpiper strays
on endless quest for burrowing crabs.
Peace rolling off the water, a liquid aura,
brings surcease to the day's anxious plight.
Cavorting light rays pirouette in prismatic play,
unfettered children of earth's weary sun
who slips to rest upon night's graying breast.
Carefree scenes surround, seashore treats,
delectable as holiday sweets displayed on Christmas Eve:
ribbon candy colored cabanas,
verdigris beach poles rope garlanded,
soft stained seashell ornament display.
Almost as good as Christmas, this evening on the beach,
stretched out upon the sand
my back against bleached driftwood band.

I see the image of a white sandy beach,
Caressing the beautiful blue green water.
The tall palm trees randomly rooted along the shore,
Protecting all who walk there, keeping them cool on a warm day.
The cabanas on the beach, excellent shelter from the rays of the sun,
The white sand with the many shells along the walkway.
The beach volleyball court nearby where friendly games are played,
A walk to the elegant condominiums and swimming pool.
A refreshing and pleasurable swim in the exquisite swimming pool,
White and green tables and chairs by the pool side.
Lounge chairs where you can sit and view the beautiful paradise,
Perhaps read your favorite book or novel, reflection of a Limetree beach paradise.
