I shivered as my bare feet touched the grass, The dampness of the night air chilled my bones. The full moon’s light cast its glow on the glass, Reflecting my figure as I walked to the dunes. My robe billowed about my naked legs, Teased by the sea breeze, whispering its call. Alone, I scanned…

Easter at the Beach for Lyrical Sunday (Week 16)
Easter at the beach, chocolate eggs hidden out of reach. Driftwood adventures, hide and seek, Waking to the sound of the sea to peek – At foil wrapped eggs nestled in the dunes. We dance and sing to Ukelele tunes, play ball and tag, till our breath starts to lag. We quench our thirst with…

My Home Town: Lyrical Sunday (Week 12)

Colour Poetry: Lyrical Sunday (Week 11)
I feel calm with my bare skin brushing green. The colour of nature, its needs unseen. A transfer of love between us exists, Like the cycle of air that must persist. So many shades envelop my senses, Intoxicating me with their riches. The darkest green is like a winters cloak, The scent of evergreen pine,…
