daydreaming




it's pink pebble
on palm of frothy shore

 ringed by remnants
of corals, shells, dead starfish 

 above, sun splashes blue sky
oblivious to the quarrels of birds

 palm trees flick 
buzzing wings glinting of jewels

 under striped umbrella,
snoring waves rock me to daydream

    I wish I was daydreaming right about now.

    I feel a bit of serenity in between - and definitely the need for a nap. Or maybe that is just me.

    yep, its cold here too. but I can dream warmer.

    I love the snoring waves... I could hibernate to that, here we had the first snow today.

    Such halcyon imagery--as we battle high winds and rain here; very nice sense of place and transporting us along. I like your lines /blue sky/oblivious to the quarrels of birds/.

    Oh I know that feeling of blissing out in nature, for me, especially at the ocean shore when I was growing up. Now, at the Lake (De's lake). And mine. That is how we birth inspiration, I think.

    To be able to take in a snore and avoid the winter works for me, except if people really loud snore around me lol

    You took me there to the solace of the beach. Every movement and image of this was calming.

    I am already longing for days by the beach though it feels they just left after such a warm october. Your poem took me there. Nice.

    I enjoyed, along with the wonderful wording, the form -- gentle wave couplets running against the shoreline of consciousness. A daydream of a poem.

    snoring waves can rock me into a daydream or two. The cold weather is arriving and daydreams return of the beach.

    How wonderful to daydream with pink pebbles, Grace! I imagine a small child
    'ringed by remnants
    of corals, shells, dead starfish'
    and love the 'striped umbrella' and 'snoring waves'!
