Mellow Dreams

Sunset of glory
unite with oceans embrace
ardent goodnight kiss
while courteous waves convey
warm comfort of mellow dreams

Lovely, lovely, lovely Charisma.  And the sunset...one of God's best.  Is this a shot you captured?  It's a superb photo.

I would settle for being wrapped up in this one for a great night's peace and warmth anytime.  Lovely images you have written here my friend.

Charisma~

Your haikus, senryus and tankas are such a treat.  This is just lovely and I find great inspiration in your words.  You have a talent for these Japanese poems!  

Take care,
Melissa

Love, this is just such a lovely display of your immense talent.
I sure do like what you do with the imagery.
Makes me wish for the sunset.

Excellent! you are so good at this!
