Sailing
Teak decks warm to the bare foot Soft wind blowing the sails of romance Pure white against a backdrop of grey-blue skies and cotton puff clouds Tousled hair framing a face with sun-kissed cheeks The glowing embers of sunset reflected in her eyes and the delight of sailing in the smile Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Sarah is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has asked us to be inspired by boats Image by Francine Sreca from Pixabay
This is so well written Christine. It’s like looking at a a live picture.
Oh you’re so sweet Sadje! Thank you so much! I wrote it fairly quickly and wasn’t too sure about it, so THANK YOU!!! 🥰
You’re welcome my friend
“sailing in the smile”- Nice!

Wonderful sensory description, Christine. I relaxed while reading it.
Thanks so much Lisa ☺️ I really appreciate it
You’re very welcome.
stunning! <3 <3
Thank you so much Carol Anne. I really appreciate it. ☺️
That is the dream of sailing, isn’t it? Perfect wind, perfect weather, being at one with the ocean. Lovely.
Thanks Sarah. In my mind the only way I’d enjoy sailing. Anything else would terrify me 😳
A beautiful image comes to mind. Really evocative!
Thank you so much ☺️
My pleasure.
Oh, this is enchanting, Christine!❤️
Thank you Punam dear ☺️💕
You are so welcome. 🥰
This is sumptuous. Love it.
Aww, thank you! ☺️
This is so calm and dreamy. The best of the sea. And what a wonderful photo! (K)
Thanks K! I always think sailing in warm weather is dreamy. Now fish trawling in the North Atlantic … not so much!
Very nicely done!! I love the sun kissed cheeks in the glowing embers of sunset! That skin tone only happens at the moment. It tends to fade quickly. Beauty tanned by the sun … nothing like it!

Thank you so much Dwight. It’s true, most people look better with a little tan ☺️
I think so as well!
The only part of this poem that I liked was the stuff between the teak deck and the smiling delight. Nice work, CB.
Oh Ron, thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😊
I felt the joy and the warmth!! Made me smile inside and out.
Thank you so much. That was a lovely thing to say 🥰
To be at sea in sunshine is close to my vision of paradise.
That’s the only time I would enjoy boating! Dreamy and warm 🙂
