I can almost hear the music! Love it!

Yes, you've done it again. You've magically thrown all the best beach experiences into a blender, spilled them on to a page and gifted all your readers with a sense of aw and grace. Miss you. J'nia

Such a beautiful concert, Gene. I truly could feel the atmosphere and hear the "music". Lovely piece! ~Hugs, Elizabeth

Conducted flawlessly, not one clinker amongst words, music and imagery. Patrick

Sounds like my kind of live, outdoor event, Gene! So vividly captured and makes me think slightly of The Sorceror's Apprentice: must be those Mickey Mouse gloves and musical animation! :)) Just leaves me to add the pitty-patt of rain marking the applause... Fabulous! xx

Oh my ..so beautiful sweet man just like you.... sighhh...Hugss...stay safe and well ..Hugss

your poem flows effortlessly, capturing the ambiance and music of its scenery ...

Maestro! The three B's are surely jealous of this etude my dear friend. Your quill a baton of immense ability. Jealous I am. But more than that, grateful to be able to enjoy your song of love for things natural. I bid you love and peace. Jon Michael

Beautiful, Gene!

Lovely, Gene.
About the same time, I played three straight days at a beer festival near the Space Needle. The music, for those of us who heard it, was actually good. The the real symphony, in contrast to your tranquil one, was played out by the increasingly raucous crowd.
S here's my BIERFEST

No one following
The rules

Horns try to compete
With girls

Failed sound sytem
Hiss, crackle, blatt

Cancelling the beat
Cowboy yells

Constant sun
No clouds

Clinking glasses
Burp. belch

Time lapses between
The bars

"You can't quit now!"
Encore


Just for the fun of it. And it actually was.
Charlie

Orchestrated perfectly!

You cherry pick your images and words
to perfection, Gene, and the result
is a special music indeed.

you can hear the sounds carry on the water. ~ Morgan

...those damn horns & reeds always trying to compete with Natures gulls...;-) ed

Gene - Thanks for allowing me to feel the coolness of a night on the beach on this hot day in Georgia. Love the simplicity of the images. Especially liked the sound of:

all eyes following
the white glove

horns and reeds compete
with gulls

and the ending,

encore
a thunderclap

Good one. - David

Oh yes indeed a beach concert. Fantastic write Gene.
