Prime Time Modern Sonnet
(Read in Landscape view for line formatting)
swirls of the whirlpools of kayak paddles
propelling a vessel across a lake
sit-in or sit-on and body-straddle
the ripply-rocking of speed-boaters’ wake
snake-tonguish flames licking marshmallow s’mores
strobe-lighting delight in partakers’ eyes
campfires, fireflies, and twilights outdoors
stoking and kindling what money can’t buy
soul-resting lulls of hammocks in shade trees
cradling comfort for peace-seeking minds
stress disappears like feathers on breezes
deep, restful napping the spirit soon finds
savoring moments and seeking life’s prime
love is the depth of the ways we spend time
