Florida - A Tribute

Florida

Airport of aquariums, tweets, shells, pastels.
Light bright, royal palms probing ivory grey
Towers teetering, winds whisping their grassy
hairy heads around in pink peach pale pallet of
white tinted tufts, cotton balls tenderly touch the robins egg Blue.

The infinite Atlantic, abode of Atlantis,
twinkling emerald blanket pulled up on
shimmering sheets of sand, an elegant bed
I play and sleep in all day long where
time never is told, existed or exists.

“Paradise”, I call it. Tepid, temperate,
fecund, fragrant forest of green growing life,
luscious, flowered and bearing fruit.
Polychromatic symphony, music
Making my eyes laugh and sunshine making my skin sing.
