Written for David’s Wea’ve Written Weekly
where our PoW, the lovely Lesley, asks us to
write a Cameo poem – a tiny distilled moment.
Thanks for the prompt, Lesley & David!
Warm sun.
Toes press slowly down;
the weight of stress dissolves at once
in the sand.
I had forgotten how the sea
washes all tension away.
My Zen.

Nancy’s Notes: A Cameo poem is a tiny, distilled moment rich in imagery yet minimalistic. It is comprised of 7 lines with the syllable count 2/5/8/3/8/7/2.
This is “Knee Deep” by Zac Brown Band ft. Jimmy Buffett
