As autumn arrives, I
yearn for those summer seas….

Summer Song
Frothing saline revels in my crooks
I am a salt-encrusted fish
Donning sashimi limbs
Seaweed tendrils cascading
Siren song enraptures
Luring me undertow....
I gargle between glistened peaks
Briny breath wafting sweet
Across luminescent rhythms
Vividity echoes ashore
Upon chafing cheeks
And sun-speckled carcasses
Returning to the submerged
I cup a translucent moon
Elusive and beautiful
- Theresa Milstein
A lovely arrangement of words, Theresa.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Medeia.
DeleteLovely - donning sashimi limbs is a great image!
ReplyDeleteThank you, freyawrites. We seem exposed and fragile when we're submerged in water.
DeleteSo vivid. I like the synesthesia of "luminescent rhythms"!
ReplyDeleteLeah, thanks. I like the term "synesthesia."
Deletelove the last lines..x

DeleteBeautiful! I feel like I am right there and although I love fall, I long for the beach. :) Great arrangement!

DMS, I love fall too--if only it didn't bring winter. We had such a lovely summer. I didn't want it to end!

DeleteMe, personally I am so finished with summer. Bring on fall with it's autumn colored leaves and cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteStephen, I love fall as well. Too bad it brings winter....
DeleteThese words are so lovely I had to read them aloud, just to let them roll out into the air.
ReplyDeleteShelly, that makes me so happy to hear!
DeleteThis is beautiful. I can hear and see the ocean kissing the shore. Almost feel the moonlight on the water. It's lovely.
