The Get Away

When your life is crazy and you need to get away!

Blusterous wind, blowing through my red hair.

My lips are salty from the ocean.

Water splashes on me, awakening my inner child.

 

The sky is partly cloudy,

but rays of sun illuminates through,

warming me like a firey furnace.

The warmth heats my cold tired soul.

 

The boat rocks back and forth,

furious waves splashing against it.

I feel freer than I've felt in days.

 

Sea gulls fly high above me,

their voices yelling out over the water.

It's like a serenade, my own choir.

I'm at awe over the beauty, the serenity I feel.

 

Soon night falls over the ocean sky,

twinkling stars glisten through the darkness.

The waves has quieted, and my body is rested.

 

A noise brings me back to reality.

I smile as I gaze at the picture,

flipping to the next month of the Thomas Kinkade claendar a small cabin appears in a snowy forest.

All pictures look enticing.

I know I'll visit many places,

if only in my mind.

 

 

Author's Note

I love staring at pictures that Thomas Kinkade has done! Tell me what you think?

Beautifully portrayed .

[Coyote Poetry]

A very nice poem. We need to get lost in art or words. Can take us to great and wonderful places. I'm a fan of the sea. One day I will figure out how to plant my old body and pen by the ocean. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

wow this sure was surreal work! i really enjoyed this poem, now you've explained very well what happens when we do need to get away from it all! this was picturesque and super-imaginative, now that's great! i noticed you misspelled "fiery" though. was that intentional?
(sorry about that, sometimes i can be a stickler for grammar and spelling.)
awesome work!

really like this!! the juxtaposition between the onomatopoeias like splashed and then the sights of the sea gulls flying above, great use of the senses, it draws us in and I can really picture the scene!
