~Paradise~

 

Ukulele's song

Happy fingers strum along

Seaside melodies

 

Gently soothe thy soul

Fragrant blooms and waterfalls

Guava fruit and steep red cliffs

 

Wonderment takes flight

Creativity astir

Treasured paradise

The first and last lines of your poem "Paradise," "Ukulele's song" and "Treasured paradise" speaks peacefully to my soul as I look out the window and see snow falling that has covered the ground and the trees. Guess what? I am playing my ukulele, fingering this four-string instrument. Like you, there at the seaside, I am having a peak experience. Indeed, "Wonderment takes flight" and paradise is real, at least for a moment, Thank you Carolyn

I like the way at the very end you told us were it was written.
I assume going home.

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
