Paper note book with fine grain page,
Attest to thought of folio tints;
Pleasant print looks await ink wage,
Emerge sure lot of written mint;
Reach with clear wit that poignant high,
See sensuous whim curl cryptic shores;
Treat welcome bits where echoes sigh,
Opt crazy theme plus feisty more;
Notes plunder plot with playful points,
Engulf stray flings as buzzy feel.
Bloom crafty thoughts with ideas joint,
Oblige fond swings of moods that will,
Observe new urge that merge with care,
Keep well verse surge in cites laid bare.

Folio of Lovers On Beach Strand

Slathered, oiled frames
Treading sands of time
Foaming tides surge
Briny film develops

Two, virile images
In pixelated motion
Entering Love's folio
Sharing spatial time

Their, silted still life forms
Yesterday's, filtered shadows
On egg-white shells
Stain beach canvas

With sea salts embalmed
Strained sediments bury
Mementos but caricature
That hoary sun preserves

In Nature's reserve
Each negative revolves
On reflective carousel
Hourglass recycles grains

Mercurial silhouettes of love
Outlined in the murky brine
Wind's emotive flute
Pipes enduring refrain
