Deep Blue Ocean


Aloha,
                 Here is a wave shot in Turtle Bay, Hawaii. This dark blue is a nice contrast against the white water, giving the wave its sense of excitement. Writers also can use contrast to create excitement in their prose. Let's write with that in mind today. By the way, this wave is brought to you by request from Jesse in Atlanta.                Enjoy!

 My Maple Syrup


Only fools stay
Where lonely cools the day
So much attention left to pay
 How's the weather out that way?

It's not whether now
 But when and how
December to March
 Will find a plow

Winter's hummer
Simmers like summer
Take on all comers
Paint-by-numbers 
Leaves will fall

So global 
And so heart warming 
A friend to you
Comes a trend swarming

Talking about back in the day
Smell the dew and it smells you
A new cut hay
Back in the day

What's this about a coming storm?
Is that another swarm?
Less snow more rain 
Feel the pain
 
Giddy up the bridle
 Kick that stirrup
I'm sure going to miss 
My maple syrup
