Hello, beautiful readers! I honestly don't know how I am getting one more poem in before I go offline for the next several days, but I did! I am taking a couple of days off work (which I never do) to focus on some self-care. And part of that is staying offline. So, here is my last poem for this week.
I've combined Sadje's What Do You See? prompt and #TankaTuesday's Poetry Challenge. Sadje provided the photo below, and Willow at #TankaTuesday encouraged us to imagine a color, smell, sound, or image that triggers a memory. I've chosen to write a nonet for this poem.

Lunch Date
salty sea spray permeates the air
lazy waves lap upon the shore
pops of sunset-hued flowers
decorate the terrace
my friend and I laugh
sipping our tea
treasuring
friendly
love
