Summer Solstice - Florida Style ~*Marge Tindal*~ Lying naked in the hot summer sun Skin well-oiled Temperature boiled Beads of perspiration gleaming I fret Nothing to do but sweat Lazy, hazy days soaking up the rays The heat rises I turn before I burn With sun screen caked too late I'm baked This is for real now I peel New skin Begin again Some lessons are never learned No matter how many times you're burned |

This reminded me of the time I got burnt in Florida after just 10 minutes in the sun...it wasn't pleasant. Sometimes we just never learn until it's too late. Great poem, Marge!  Denise |

Marge~ Ouch!! Here, have some lotion for that!! LOL Very creative poetry my friend! LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Lil' Lizzie~ Glad to see your bright smile this morning. Darn it - wish you'd come back to Disney World - it's just 20 miles from my backyard. I can sit on my porch and watch the fireworks ! Kit~ I'm always glad to know you enjoy. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

~Marge,...this poem is so true about never learning, and new skin, begin again. Haha. Can't count the number of times I've been burnt to the point where I've ruined my vaca. for a day or two. Yowsers!!! Great job. *Peace. *BTW, I like the orange too. |

I remember last summer I got burned on my stomach and my back real agony...well silly me. Little chance of it this summer...where is the nice the weather. Wait a minute. I am in Ireland, aw it figures. lol wonderful poem Marge. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
