Below is the poem of the day entitled Love Boat which was written by poet Karen Jones.


Love Boat

Indigo ink dreams
Dripping from heart
Tattoos tongue with kinetic kiss
Green electric buzz like sip
Of fine blueberry wine so sweet
Dreamy turquoise love touch
Filling me up with red desire
On fire for your romantic antic
Sweeping me off my feet
Carrying me with ease
Of a blue breeze to deserted love island 
Where tan sands caress like brown hands
White waters flow warm and toasty
Fast slow then in closing cold
Never let go of this love
For it floats like a boat

So beautiful and romantic! I love the way youv used imagery and also used colors in this to paint such a heartfelt ambience. I think the opening and also the lines “ Carrying me with ease Of a blue breeze to deserted love island Where tan sands caress like brown hands White waters flow warm and toasty” are my absolute fave! This definitely is a fave for me dear karen. You are such a creative soul

Dear Karen, What a portrait of colors and sensations, a wonderful journey through the spectrum of love's emotions. Each line is a brushstroke of passion and longing. I loved how your poetic words enveloped us in a warm embrace, whisking us, the readers, away to a deserted love island where desire dances on the waves. What an enchanting voyage into the depths of romance. - Blessings, Daniel
