Colorful painted boats line up on the golden
sun bathed sands, a white painted house
hangs on the cliffs side with dark blue shutters
opened to a view over lime washed walls,
steps lead down to mosaic tile floors
over looking the saphire colored sea,
winds carry the scent of lemon groves
and the shadowy trees dangle down
over sun drenched ground , vine leafs
fan out over the white trellis, offering
its purple sweet nector, tempting even the gods
to reach down and pick its earthly manna.

Oh this is good!
The word pictures you build with beautiful metaphors is really nice work....I fell right into the middle of it.

Excellent word-lay, Mike. Vivid pictures within my mind as I caroused down the lines of this excellent poem. Stand. Take a bow.
