A bundle of blooms,
cruise a pool of cool hues,
petals fragrant and floating,
like tiny perfumed balloons.
If I could wing with the wind,
and on marshmallow clouds,
catch my breath as I sit,
I'd marvel at my majestic
bird's eye view visit.
But the sea beckons me
to dip into its depths,
so I jump off my cloud,
as I take one big breath,
then, drift on the water,
like the petals in bloom.
Thanks for visiting
and happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteΑς απολαύσουμε τις βουτιές μας στις υπέροχες ελληνικές θάλασσες,αυτό το τελευταίο καλοκαιρινό Σαββατοκύριακο.Ίσως το επόμενο τα σύννεφα να είναι πραγματικότητα και όχι μόνο μια ονειρική φωτογραφία.
ReplyDeleteΚαλό Σαββατοκύριακο!
Lovely poetry and images here...and oh that gorgeous sea : )

...and certainly just as pretty as those petals floating! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely way with words, dear Poppy :) Oh, how I would love to jump into that ocean - it's so beautiful! Blessings to you, sweet lady!
ReplyDeleteNew to your blog, but already love it. Thank you so much, Poppy.
ReplyDeleteThe images of crystal, aqua waters and so much sunshine and colours - simply fabulous. I will revisit all of these again come mid-winter, (live in Quebec City) and feel revitalized.
Also, I am swooning over your tender green coloured china hutch (earlier posts) and would love if you would share the paint colour. :)

I love this post! What beautiful poetry and images to go along with it. I wish to sit on marshmallow clouds and swim in that clear blue water too!
ReplyDeleteThere appears to be something about the light there that must be unique to the world. I would love to smell the morning air. I almost can from reading your lovely words.

ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
DeleteThank you! Yes, the photos are of the north coast in west Crete, near the city of Chania, all the way at the other end of the island, for me.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh how I would have loved to swim there!AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeleteOh, how the sea beckons me too, jumped off many a cloud myself. :)

ReplyDeleteOh Poppy, how beautiful your post is. Those clouds are like marshmallows and the ocean WOW.
ReplyDeleteThe color is so very very pretty. We do not get many clouds here is So CA. Is that you swimming?
Your flowers look so happy shining their little faces up to the sun.
Have a terrific sunny day.
