Feather Vane

         
Aloha, 
                  Here is a "morning light" photo showing vivid color. The detail of color is emotional here, but writers beware: Too much detail in fiction can become dull and boring. Overuse of detail is cliche. Let's avoid cliche today as we write.             Enjoy!


Genre: Nouveau Hawaiian

                 Ice Cream Aloha

Geek me here on this little beach
With thoughts of going beyond the reef
I select a few tunes strike up my bands
What else to do here on these white sands?

Don't need the bad press I'm warm here and cuddly
Not like the rest they act so fuddy-duddily
I compose and I send to my little friend
What I do next helps me contend
Ice cream aloha

I stay on this beach warm strong and demure
Through the weekend I casually endure
And where do I go where I feel secure?
Ice cream aloha

Escape be the artist relax from the poses
As eyes ingest the world's candy and roses
I wait here on the beach for all that it brings
Tides try to restore the natural order of things

And what's in store for beach architecture?
The geek in me says nothing's for sure
I know where to go to get my little cure
Ice cream aloha

I love this poem. I have three weeks of vacation, so I am finally having some time to comment on your wonderful blog. And, since this is the only blog I can anonymously comment on, then I shall stick to this one. However, I also enjoy so much of your other ones.
