Sinuous Summer

sinuous seaside sand softly shifts smooth stones seaweeds stinky sigh winsome waves woven wearing wondrous weave westerly wind whistles sunlit sparkling stars seashore serenades sunshine sopranos singing driftwood’s dozing dreams distant diamond disappears deep dusky day dies 7-29-2020 Birch Bay

Jeanne, this photograph looks like one of yours, is it a new one? You have captured some gorgeous summer scenes with your luscious, lovely words in alluring alliteration. I'm wondering if the sopranos singing are mermaids or sirens? Loved your line "winsome waves woven" as I am a big fan of wave watching. Very endearing!

Yes, it's one of the photographs I sell in my Mexican gallery. Mermaids! Yes, the waves are calling me every day!

Buenos Dias Senor Burl...it was suppose to be for the haiku alliteration contest but I struggle for a week with nothing coming...then yesterday it just flowed as I sat on the beach! missed the contest but still produced a lovely poem.
