Hampton Beach Daydreams

Art by Tara Teslow

amber-singed clouds paint heavens, 
watching golden sweet swirls glisten.

radiant whispers howl salty serenades.
the staccato of tides jumping up and down.

ostrich-wannabee seagulls cry into the sand. 
their necks dance vertically in orderly fashion.

ice cream sands melt under the touch of toes, 
leaving imprints of those that walk its surface.

angelic wisps emanate to distance 
to part the silent heavens.

cloudless skies fulfill thoughts, 
dotting cognition in dusk-hued doses.

a language of sunset rhythms
and tongues twisted in the daisy-yellow orb.

warmth swallowed like candied hampton 
soothed in the essence of simple leisure.
