Summer's Splendor By The Sea

Patricia L. Cisco

Summer's splendor by the sea,

a gentle, blue serenity.

Caressing rays of golden sun,

blushing, bronzing all who come.

Enticed by its romantic lure,

lovers stroll the sandy shore.

Hushing rhythm of the waves

and salty, misty ocean sprays.

Sea birds echo call of cries,

pierce the deep blue azure skies.

Dolphins dancing on their way

across the sea out to the bay.

A glistening, shiny, sun-soaked day.

All young and old alike at play,

building castles by the sea,

jumping waves and spirits free.

No place on earth as perfect to be

as summer's splendor by the sea!

We are delighted to have a Guest Designer today:

~DEANNE~

Inspiration from the whole poem. Many of the lines in the poem can be seen on the hanger.

Thank you so much Deanne - please take your Guest Designer badge!
