Written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing
Prompt #419 using the word ‘delicacy’,
and for Sue & Gerry’s Weekly Prompts
Colour Challenge using the word ‘blue’.
In exactly 39 words, this is my poem.
oh, to be
beside the sea
where all is blue
as blue can be
where you and me
stretch leisurely
beneath the lovely
coconut tree
what a rare delicacy
blissfully and heavenly
alone and free
on our wedding anniversary

A lovely poem and song, Nancy. There is a significant risk for getting injured by sitting under a coconut tree.
