Cocktails At Sunset

On the deck of Caryl Anna
Sipping Alabama Slammers
Eyes in awe of setting sun

Flamingo pink greets violet hues
Shots of darkest petrol blues
Surrounding islands in the sky

Reflections on Marina's water
Not a ripple there to alter
All that's peace and harmony

Ducks are dozing, birdsong absent
Heavy is the sound of silence
As the day makes way for night.

Flows like a "waves' song" to my ears, once more your amazing skill at painting with words, allowed me not only to imagine the scene, but to live it too. your emotions are clear in my heart that I was able to be there with You too, in a serene wistfulness ambiance. B.T.W, it's sunset here, no more perfect time to read your graceful words :>

[Chris Shaw]

Hoping you had a most beautiful sunset lightsong. We were back on our boat yesterday, but too chilly to sit outside sipping cocktails. Will have to wait for warmer weather to do this again.Thanks for stopping by.

The sounds of silence are everywhere... but still
the peace of quiet waters finds harmony...
"Flamingo pink greets violet hues" as we
linger in the afternoon showers that fall on
streams of turbulence. Peace and love across
the waves of destiny. tenderly, Pat

Dear Pat, thank you for checking out this old poem, out for an airing. We are at the marina today. All is peaceful and calm. Hardly anyone here. If you have rainfall causing streams of turbulence, I hope they are short lived. Have a lovely serkend. All good wishes from the other side of the pond. E noying a.nice cup of tea.

I think I like the reflection on the water as much as anything, with small duck made waves gently rippling the many colors
These scenes are meant to be painted
Very nicely done

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks Dave. An old poem out for an airing. The marina is looking just as lovely today. Have a great weekend.

The stunning sunset you describe in this beautiful tercet has driven me to my nearby beach! At least in my mind for today, but this weekend for sure. "Flamingo pink," "petrol blues," love the imagery. I also think you described the stillness, the absolute stillness so beautifully! Added to my favorites.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you so very much Mary. I am so honoured that you have added this little write to your favourites.
