Islamarada The place to be


All qualms set aside
A seat above the sea
Irascibility denied
The incendiary sun beating down around me
Sumptuous consumerism aside
The altruistic shade of a lonely palm tree
Satiated by ambrosial surroundings
unadulterated bliss
The spray of the sea titillating your desire to escape
Luscious ideas thrown back and forth
Mental capacity widens while contents shrink
The less you KNOW the more you think

Patrick Rickert

Very nice. You have a knack for this thoughtful poetry. I like the imagery here. The diction and your vocab word choices fit well. They are not overblown at all. Great work. - elmeer
