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.
