This week’s Petite Pen was inspired by an AllPoetry brevity contest~25 words or less to the following paint-night image. Will you join me for a sunset on the beach? If you bask in a bit of brevity be sure to ping it back to my page, so everyone can enjoy it.
Happy Tuesday!

Your voice tickles like
seagrass at sunset,
covering curvy dunes,
and beyond our blanket
the velvety ocean,
custard cream
cool and smooth,
awaits our dip.

Your words are beautiful, K. 💜
liquid gold spilled from the sun
a place of brevity, respite
and love, awaiting
the tangled emotions
called down from above
Wonderfully fun. ☺️
