This is such a beautiful presentation! And I liked your dream-like poem which set the scene. I know how important the Mediterranean Sea is to you. When I tried to swim in it from Tel Aviv, I was shocked at how powerful the ocean was. The Pacific really does feel more "pacifico".

Oh, Marival, I wish I had eleven stars for you. I think you know how much I love the ocean and I sailed the Med for many years. You just capture it's allurement and its beauty in this beautiful poem. Un abrazo, Ulla xxx

When I was studying Spanish language and culture in Spain, many years ago, we would visit the Mediterranean Sea. It was gorgeous. I still remember. It would be nice going back. Maybe??? Thank you for sharing.

Hi again Gypsy. It's me again I hope you are well

What a great image you have here.

Your poem is beautiful. I'm not sure what mother-hips means. I could only decide that mother has a big butt so that's where her hips would be mentioned But I'm not sure why

I want to be on that boat with the ocean spray hitting me in my face and the rest of my body cooling me off and getting salt spray in my mouth

I enjoyed reading your
poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you very much, Pam. Mother hips means a woman with wide hips... but in a good way. (*÷*)

Gypsy,
What can I say, but this poem is fantastic! I life the photos and your misty-blue lettering.
The words are passionate, using the Mediterranean Sea as a metaphor.
I stood barefoot in the Mediterranean Sea almost 50 years ago, and the warm water was so inviting and therapeutic.
Your poem brought back many memories for me.
Great poem, Gypsy.
Cindy

Well, you certainly know how to make a sea alluring. This couldn't have been any more sensual had you tried. I loved it. I don't care where or how you came up with it. It was fabulous. Gretchen

Very sexy, very sensual, Gypsy! The sea merges into the act of making love, sweeping up your reader in this magical scenario of lighthearted and delicious delight. All beautifully presented. Well done! Debbie

This is real poetry Gypsy, sometimes people that read my work do understand the nuances of language, it does take time to read a little abstraction, I think that's why Jesus spoke in parables, or some of the bible books are symbolic, beautifully written, blessings Roy
Typo : my boat('s) sails.
