OASIS

Source:
 

 

OASIS

A more beautiful place cannot be.

It faces the waves of the dark sea.

White sand and quiet beaches galore.

You can’t ask for anything more.

 

Life is perfect as can be.

Come and frolic with me.

Tourists visit from far and wide.

Oasis is Florida’s pride.

 

Beware when The Dead descend.

We can no longer pretend

This is a perfect place to be

As The Dead rise up from the sea.

 

THE DEAD GAME

Michael, That's how my mind turns and also the story in my book. What begins as paradise in the sunshine turns morbid with the night. Life can be that way. Cheers!

It started out lovely, and then turned morbid, and left me somewhat confused.

Florida's version of the Hotel California? This one gave me mixed feelings. So many go to Florida to die.

You come up with some stunning images for your poems. This one is incredible. Makes me wonder if this is a real blossoming tree or an artist's imagination of one. I checked, it is a real photograph from Japan and an outstanding photographer on Flickr.
