Da-da!! My grand finale to my Spanish holiday memoirs must, of course, be (an attempt at) humour... yes, in your dreams, Kate! Well, that being said, you'll get the sorry truth tomorrow... :)) K xx


Poem Artwork



LOST IN SPACE


Surfers’ beach, singles’ paradise,
playground of the beautiful people -

myriad children of Venus and Mars
on whom the elements sparkle and shine.

Their bodies are art: bedecked unclad,
bejewelled - be bronzed!

I’m dazzled by their wind-tossed metals,
transported to celestial worlds…

A demi-god with moons for eyes
serves rocket-fuel cocktails at the Bar.

A stud is earthed at the back of his tongue,
swelling his accent with Spanish fruit-sweetness:

a Pluto that winks from deep outer space -

I wonder, what is it like to go there?

Expressed so vividly, Kate. The images are wonderful, but I feel the emptiness in those "beautiful people."

Kate,

I love the way you write. The scenes come alive before the reader's eyes--few poets have that gift for making living poetry. You have it, in spades! And I am most grateful.

I really love the lines,

"...a demi-god with moons for eyes
serves rocket-fuel cocktails at the bar..." *save one for me! LOL*

and,

"...a stud is earthed at the back of his tongue,
swelling his accent with Spanish fruit-sweetness:...."

Well done, my friend, well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
