in this silvery city by the sea bright lights and highways, everywhere palm trees thrive in salty air a swinging metropolis built on sand a melting pot in a tropical land clouds of pink, spread sunset wide on glass-front buildings, are magnified lush red flowers bloom all year in this sundrenched salty atmosphere shopping malls with the latest of fashion pacify our retail passion glazed white buildings on golden beaches waterways and sandy reaches glistening with sophistication Miami, a sumptuous vacation |

You make Miami sound appealing, I always thought that the beaches were less and less desirable than they used to be years ago...either way I'd rather be there than here if I could  thanks for this sunny poem. |

Yep, when you don't look too closely, that's what you see. Unfortunately those of us who live here sometimes get a different view  Nice writing, chipmunk lady. Look me up on your next vacation!  |

Lyra darling girl Oh my I’m stunned with admiration this has got to be one of you utter utter best. Truly the line and flow in this is absolutely excellent. I want to go there right now, but since I can't this has brought the sunshine and the sea to me. You always are an excellent writer darling girl, when you write a place you are perfect. Utterly utterly wonderful If you keep writing like this I shall start running out of superlatives and that would never do would it?  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |
