Sea Hanger

I was invited to be a guest at Sunday Songs and Rhymes and this poem was to be used as inspiration.

~*~

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!

~*~

I think that many of the lines of the poem can be seen on this one little hanger!!

(There's even sand from Punta Cana on there!!)
