Siesta Key Florida is my Pick
Siesta Key Florida is a favorite endeavor.
where we have taken our family vacations forever
It is inexpensive and fun; we used to go there in inclement weather.
Pure white quartz beaches are never hot on your feet.
Water activities and family-friendly concessions are sweet.
Playground there for children cannot be beat.

Siesta Key-Haikoum
windswept clumps of grass
beach scattered with broken shells~
gulls lift on currents
sandpipers feed along
beach scattered with broken shells~
tiny legs twinkle
shorebirds feeding on
the tides endless offerings~
tiny legs twinkling
each day it changes
the tides endless offerings~
waves wash shifting sand
changing on each day
seabirds gather on sandbars~
waves wash shifting sand
ocean reflects sky

Sinless Siesta
Cat naps in a circle a
stunning colorful ring.
A mix of butterscotch,
mocha, and vanilla bling.
Poetess in black velvet robe,
imprinted with

If You Come To San Miguel
If You Come to San Miguel
by Michael R. Burch
If you come to San Miguel
before the orchids fall,
we might stroll through lengthening shadows
those deserted streets
where love first bloomed ...
You might buy the same cheap musk
from that mud-spattered stall
where with furtive eyes the vendor
watched his fragrant wares
perfume your breasts ...
Where lean men mend

Siesta
Curl churns choice
Ply prompt poise
Vet vibrant voice
Siesta sweeps say
Drowsy dream day
Waltz weary way
Drooping day drifts
Sweet secrets sift
Slipping sway swift
Dreamy dance deep
Slide sticky sleep
Primal play peeps
Slumber stakes show
Freeze-frame flip flow
Bright broken blow

Siesta
Move with the times as tact frames act,
Yes to the maze where thrills fund plate.
Seize each fine rhyme as wonder facts,
Live sensuous craze as lines spring late;
Exult grand sleep where dreams prevail,
Enter the hall where echoes stretch;
Prize in rest deep where joy avails,
Yes to the call to craft due match.
See beyond sight a world put

Siesta
Droop of eyelids
Tipsy blur swirls
Sleepy form bids
Plunge into twirls
Plain arch and curl
Snore in loud swirls
In a fast zip
Body feels numb
Crash easy trip
Sleep floats sense dumb
In breathing prance
As motor numbs
Face slouching falls
Breeze into trance
Watch slumber call
Hear strange deep trance
Journey and all
Sleep grabs fond chance
Siesta now swings
As dreams unfurl
Old strains that fling

Siesta
Heavy eyes droop
Feel slumber scoop
Dizzy form loops
Drowsy frame stays
Drifting away
To dreamy play
Time lost to sleep
Falling so deep
Sense dreams that peep
In dangling twirls
Surreal this world
In blurry swirls
Zooming so fast
A moving cast
Siesta now lasts
Round and round now
Fractures somehow
Odd dreams endow
Waxy eyes sight
A renewed light
Upon mid flight
To wake again
To a time train
Vivid yet plain

Siesta
Blurry fatigue clusters that odd pain
Falling deeply in plunge like rain
Sleepy slumber sorts soul strain
Feelings and thoughts now gel
Word sculptures lose spell
Loiter by deep well
Part by part
Hurl start

Siesta
Mind what you find in sleepy notes,
Yes fit the heart with easy rest.
Style sleep signs in drifting vote,
Lie down to start fond siesta quest;
Explore a sway beyond logic,
Embrace that plunge into nothing;
Ply through gateway somewhat mystic,
Yield to strange trance where voices sing;
Sense thoughts allude to inner feel,
Intent can start the flow of strains;
Extract in nude

Siesta In the Moonlight
I believe I learned how to count syllables today :'D
Would be happy to know even if I didn't, so do critique! :)
Siesta In The Moonlight
And we crawl under
The blanket of moonlit stars
Silence our white noise
Reading the books of our thoughts
Satisfied; switch off our eyes

Siesta
Drowsy eyes droop
As slumber scoops
Fatigue farms here
With sleepy cheer
Body finds rest
In dreamy quest
Sleep comes swiftly
With rest that frees
Ply the nightmare
Beyond sane cares
Breeze through sweet dreams
With soul trance themes
Siesta sparks mood
To cast new good

Siesta
Deep
Nap keeps
Deeper sleep
Poise
Glimpse choice
In deep voice
Sigh
Now ply
A bold high
Know
Sure glow
In clear show
Mind
New finds
That align
Stay
New play
For this day
See
Beauty
That sets free
Light
New sight
In sure flight
Zest
Moves fest
In fond quest

Siesta
Mind in a blur as cool breeze curls,
Yonder bright sun flings a sharp glare.
Sleepy moods stir in heavy swirls,
In time the ring of snores not cares;
Etch of limp form with siesta deep,
Sound sleep echoes fond slumber best;
Touch dreamy norms that comfort reaps,
Attest and show a welcome quest.
Face fondles smile in a sweet sway,
Incline pulls frame
