by the sea

They
are under
the sun, of
distant linen
triangles, spinnakers
inflated by the wind,the
colors of flowers there, the
first sail is yellow, as this color
expensive to the sunflowers which
teems with ideas and with kisses in the neck,

It
moves
forward
queitly on
the blue of the
sea, the air is warm,
another sail is green, an
attractive green of salad which
we picked in a garden, a soft light,
colors walk as points on a reach, do we
intend to sing gulls? If far? The third sail is
blue also, then the other one hesitates between

the
red of
windy Poppies,

And
the red
of tomatoes
that we throw,
the other one has
two ambigues but so
complementary colors,
blue and yellow sail, small
triangles which move forward,
small colors which do not want to
capsize, the sky protects them proudly,

And
the wind
tease them
there is stuff
to dream more
there is something
to get lost oneself, on
the sea which sings, these
small sails make our hearts.

Oh,
This is
not a regatta.

Beautiful colorful images in each of those verses shaped like sails.
Great idea!
What's the name of that last small sail....Oh I don't know.
However, I know I really love this piece.

VERY interesting, 'colorful,' and visually attractive write ...
sailing across the cyber-sea along the fine blue sands of
"P.I.P.-land's" shores!

You are so lucky to live near the sea, yann and you take so much from it... and give it to us.

I love how your mind perceives and represents the colors here. You inspire and make me want to feel the freedom of sailing on the vast blue ocean ...

Wonderful, dear Yann, and I enjoyed the poem's shape too.
