the water’s
effervescenceand the sunshine
on the gull
give a California splendor
to our world
we walk along
the waterfront
and smile
at one other
then the California sun
sets—
as we stroll
Laurie, of the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, posted a word challenge for Friday the 13th today, and the word she chose was the 13-letter word effervescence. She suggested, therefore, that we try to make our poems 13 lines long as well.
