Wind Songs in Acappella

Wind Songs in Acappella

 

 

another June precipitates days

of sun bleached hair

 

weekends of cocoa buttered skin

and volley ball beaches

 

with Picasso sunsets

and margarita evenings

 

as seagulls in adept formation

gather wind songs  in acappella.

Wonderfully written, splendidly imaginative. You create the perfect setting.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You're always welcomed here, Sami. Thank you!

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Much obliged. Thank you kindly

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

This is beautiful, Kelly. Your words take us to the shores of that cocoa-buttered beach.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Linda!

[Franky]

This sounds perfect! I want to live there.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I often imagine how picturesque it would be, in winter. To feel the wind off the water and hear the gulls overhead. Thank you for your visit, Frankie!

[Franky]

I agree we have long, hard winters in northern Minnesota. I try and imagine the sea, the birds, and the sandy beaches in my mind. Thank you for your wonderful write!

[Dara]

I can feel the warmth of the sun and picture lively games of volleyball on the beach. The cocoa butter is wafting in the breeze while the sunset reflects a peaceful look of contentment. The margarita is icing on the cake. I love this beautiful write that touches deeply all of the senses. Another stunning piece Kelly!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh, the chill of that margarita going down...so good! Thank you ever so much for your presence here, Dara. Have a wonderful weekend!

[Dara]

Thank you! I hope yours includes a trip to the beach if not now, very soon. :-)

[Chris Shaw]

This is just my cup of tea Kelly. In four couplets you capture a place and a mood where we would all love to be.

cocoa buttered skin ……wonderful

There's something so tranquil about being at the beach, with the sounds of the frolicking seagulls and the ocean. There are firepits along the shore, so you can make an entire day of it with long walks on the pier. I just love it there...it's truly heaven on earth. Thank you so much, Chris!

[Chris Shaw]

We are on the river and it is scorchio. Watching a regatta from our boat. Your beach truly sounds like heaven. Enjoy when you can Kelly :)

I like it! Short, sweet and description packed. I can't say I'm very fond of seagulls though. I love to see them flying. But they are greedy beggars on the ground. I saw one almost take a woman's finger who was trying to feed it bread from her hand off the back of a ferry. Some people are just not very smart. I was tossing bits into the air to watch them swoop but I never once thought of hand-feeding them, just, no.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm inclined to agree with you on that, Fabian. I think your way is a much better approach. Thank you!
