Sun-drenched blondes in black
skin tight dresses

tan and blue-eyed babies in arms

shoulders bare and bellies ring
as gypsy skirts sway to street guitar

black blues sound of a smile
where an ancient couple
barely able to walk
hold each other and dance
with the grace of youth

love is in the way his hand
presses her back

ice-cream with fresh fish

seaweed and
lots of suntan lotion-

the sun must set in this ocean
even when I’m gone

but how

I like it all with the slimmest possible exception taken with ice cream with fish ... yuk

(smiles) Oh Martie, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love this vision of sumer you created, this reminded me of my visit a few weeks ago to California and visiting Newport after getting back from Catalina Island and watching people eat fish and chips and ride the carousel! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Martie,
Once again you mix words that don't seem to mix but do.

I agree with Sy, Martie...
If I tried to get those same words to mix, it would be a disaster...but when you do it, its poetry.

Dang, ice cream and fresh fish?
That's hard to swallow, but coming from you it's easy to do.  Nice work as always Martie~

  Oops...I seem to have made a blunder.  I don't recommend eating ice cream with fresh fish...seperate the times...and make ice cream dessert.
