THE CHOICE FOR THIS MONDAY'S POETRY POTLUCK, OFFERED BY JINGLE, at Jingle Poetry, is to write a poem about BEACHES or MOUNTAINS. The stuff of dreams...
BUILDING A BEACH
I'm building a beach on top of my bed,
pouring a pail of blistering sand,
composing a dune
with sea grass swaying,
tilting my face to take in the sun,
hearing the pulse of the ocean
absorb the beat of my heart.
I kick some shells
as if that was sport,
brush a flutter
buzzing next to my ear,
an emissary from actuality
trying to convince me
that I'm just dreaming of August.
As I roll over to let the radiance
burnish my legs,
a floorboard creaks,
cat ready to pounce,
summoning me to awaken
and tend to my day...
Monday, go away.

Heavenly beach dreaming. I loved this.
a beach on top of your bed, how divine.

I love your poetry talent,
So tickled to have you contribute.
Love this Lyn, although I'd personally wish for autumn and its beautiful colors. What makes it special is that we're all different and all the same.
