Cocktails At Sunset

On the deck of Caryl Anna
Sipping Alabama Slammers
Eyes in awe of setting sun

Flamingo pink greets violet hues
Shots of darkest petrol blues
Surrounding islands in the sky

Reflections on Marina's water
Not a ripple there to alter
All that's peace and harmony

Ducks are dozing, birdsong absent
Heavy is the sound of silence
As the day makes way for night.

Flows like a "waves' song" to my ears, once more your amazing skill at painting with words, allowed me not only to imagine the scene, but to live it too. your emotions are clear in my heart that I was able to be there with You too, in a serene wistfulness ambiance. B.T.W, it's sunset here, no more perfect time to read your graceful words :>

Hoping you had a most beautiful sunset lightsong. We were back on our boat yesterday, but too chilly to sit outside sipping cocktails. Will have to wait for warmer weather to do this again.Thanks for stopping by.

Lovely piece!
Vividly explained how a beautiful peaceful evening time should be.

Indeed you share with us a beautiful, restful summer evening Chris. Lovely descriptive and elegant. One small point, not sure I would want to ruin perfectly good sloe gin by adding all that stuff-obviously American lol!

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks John. Ah, you prefer your sloe gin without all the mixes? This is a really nice cocktail. I don't usually indulge in them.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes I used to make sloe gin every year. My previous house was called 'The Sloes'.
