Waves, coconut oil 
sunburn slowly tans your smile; 
Fading memories....

The sun tans our skin, 
As we walk on the beaches, 
In the summer heat.

I took a stroll, past the buffet, past the spray tans 

and into a market of convenience. 

They always have what i need.

 Planned Parenthood never does....

It’s the curse of the bent over plumber
Those who look say “Oh what a bummer”
It’s so silky and white
It must glow in the night
Hope it tans by the end of summer

Love is sensed in us
A warming sun tans our skins
Gazing hide feelings
Code only soul mates know
Holding hands in the beach shore

Use Fans and Enjoy Tans

To overcome heat  we should use fans;
Marble has collapsed in hole use spans;
Shells in my canister;
Slide down bannister;
Have exact amount  of sun for my tan.

Bunny dreams up and down and all around
In technicolor, reds and pinks, no tans or brown.
Carrots, lettuce and radishes are dive bombing him.
He is excited to see it, loving his life, dreaming along on a whim....

Beautiful sunny days,
Shorts, tank tops, dresses,
Trips to the beach;
Burns, tans, and all that’s in between.

Ice cream, soda, games in the park,
Running around barefoot.
The days of Summer are finally here!...

your eyes the color of the sky
your spirit soft pastels
your soul made up of warmer hues
shading in tans and orange
the color that I like the best?
the color of your heart
every beautiful hue there is
that makes up the color of love...

On Jingxi River boatmen are very careful with big rocks found,
No news about boat-capsizing is heard all the year round. 
But in smooth rivers where there are no dangerous rocks,
Victims are often heard to be drown without knocks.

Fine Fans With Tans

Around me gathered my each fine fan,
They say Poetry Soup did try to ban
Instead of being dead,
Called me marble head,
And caught writing poems in Ketchikan.

Hemp woven like cradle
Hanging on summer trees;
Haven of net drifts, as 
Hands clutch iced lemonade …
Heat tans our skin, while breeze
Hums evening’s melody
Hushing thoughts, we unwind.

autumn is "calling"
falling leaves as rain showers
beauty colorful 
~
kaleidoscope dorn
brilliant tint of beige
greens tans oranges 
~
yellows and reds hues
fall leaves as rain showers dawn
beautiful autumn

She was a rather bland woman
Dowdy, dressed in tans and browns
She did not share any history
I did not know any of her towns

She brought pumpernickel bread to work
And shared it with me, along with butter.
I did not care if she did not speak anymore.
It was fabulous with dollops of peanut butter....

velvet once the leaves 
once on the trees now falling 
to fall unto the
~
bronze and golden lands 
ground colors of orange browns
 and tans dehydrated
~
 crunching crushing leaves
 sprewed out all over terrain 
dried dirty walkings

The wrongs are now righted
The Beatles have re-united
for that I expect to be knighted
but the queen might get frighted
so my lips would have to stay tighted
I must not remain unsighted
my soul may feel blighted
if touched by the mighted
the disiilusorily prided
whose tans should be hided
I don't need them or their fight!

Waking up to happinessville.
New fresh clean white canvases await my touch.
I begin painting with my favorite – the neon’s.
My husband walks by, offers to purchase new paints.
I roll my eyes and he laughs, knowing I only use my favorite colors.
Browns, grays, blacks, tans, and other dull colors are used sparingly.
I am a Gemini; my paintings reflect me....

Walking home down brick alleys,
I'd click my broken heels
off to feel bare feet on
fall's cold streets.
Sneaking home to an
apartment I lived in alone.
I'd watch the patterned
colors of row homes pass.
Greys, blues, and tans
sadly rolling down the hillside 
in long stacks.
Sitting domino's on curved
ramps, just one push
and they could all collapse...

Sea tides undulate

Salt saturates wide valleys

Fish leap helplessly

Seagulls laugh at moment’s spare

Desert sand surrounds

Lonely land mass residing

Brim with tourism

Festivals ignite the flame

Native culture dance

Parties prosper all around

Sun enlightens all

Skin tans from ash to brown dust

Reggae music blasts

Life turns to relaxation

This is paradise...

Warm sun tans 
Beach tourists
Seeking fun
In azure
Ocean waves 
Surfers ride
Wood tables
Flouting tides
Children play
With the sand
Paddleboards
Young swimmers 
In the shore
Swim for hours
Sunset hides
Golden disc
Ending day
Bringing night
Enjoyment
In hotels

Lady Autumn's here
She paints with magical brush
Reds,golds,browns, and tans
She's very graceful and quick
In the air hear her laughter
In the air hear her laughter
She's very graceful and quick
Reds,golds, browns, and tans
She paints with magical brush
Lady Autumn's here!

The Last Moment
The last moment of light
But it is not gone
The sun travels around the globe
The light is shared with every person
It feeds every plant
Warms the air around us
And tans every inch of our bodies
So, when the sun sets in the west
Just remember that it will be back
Unless it is really cloudy outside
Then you’ll have to wait … sorry

Listen to poem:

*Image of Tomorrow Moon Sunrise by Pixabay.

Sunrise, Moonrise

Gold
affects
a black sky
unveils blue seas
awakes blends of life
tans gods and goddesses

dazzles mid heavens girth
gleams a quasi-earth
flip-side vibrate's
slips and bade
fill tones
white.

Underneath bottle caps of 
Black and tans lies
A broken tragedy,
A hard fought battle of wit
And staring contests
Between myself and 
The bottle
Between myself
And the green stuff
Between insomnia and addiction.
Shady characters disappear
Into the mind
Of the mentally touched,
When days and night morph into
One entity and this,
Reverse coma
Takes control,
Regardless what’s prescribed....
