Month: February 2023

Sandy beach
White froth
Breaking on shore

Heavenly blue sky
Light fluffy clouds
Bright sparkling sun

Hot glistening skin
Salty lips
Foot tracks in the sand

Sailboats anchored just off shore
Bobbing gracefully
Awaiting their captains

Vendors with heavy loads
Plodding along
Anxious for the Córdoba
American green back even better

Ice cream peddler
Rolling wagon with a brisk step
Bell ringing
Cool in the tropical heat

Blue umbrellas for a price
Divan included
Waiter with cold drinks
And local sushi

Christo overlooking
From the mountain
Hand outstretched
With love

Sun slowly setting in the west
Sinking below the waves
Palms waving in that direction
Putting the little town to sleep
