The last day of summer. by Peter Gnas
Shining strands of flying orange
Mid-air drops of warm sun water
Soft white froth caressing brown skin —
Moment frozen in summer Time.
The place and space, a tail, each face —
Feeling a calling horizon
Unknowable in wondrous Now
Unbidden by those watching Then —
Sweet memory in sight flashes.
Written for Friday Flash 55 - My post in exactly 55 words - for the G-Man.

Ah, memories! And you chose just the right words to make a photo come to life.
Unknowable in wondrous Now
Unbidden by those watching Then

Lydia...
A Perfect Image preserved forever!
You sure Rocked this one out AGAIN!
Loved your 55

Mine is here
Have you a ROCKING WEEKEND!!!
hugs

Makes me remember...a beautiful capture, Lydia.
Not everything needs to be the most wonderful moment in the world. The ocean doesn't care about us at all. I love it for that reason.
Frozen in time —
the last jump
of summer's
exuberance.
Perhaps
to be reviewed
on a morning
frozen a different
way.
smiles...def some good times...summer is ending this weekend for us...back to school come monday....better get it in while we can...
So much captured in a slit second, enough to last until next year.
the image and the pome could almost have been made for one another
Made me think of Enid Blyton's series of books - The Famous Five (four kids and a dog defeating pirates and scoundrels in early 20th century Britain)
hope~ It's nice to have such memories...especially since summer seems to go by faster each year.
kj~ Your comment nearly made me blush. :)
G-Man~ Many thanks for you encouraging comment. I'm so glad you are well and back hosting FF55.
Shakira~ Thanks; having all these wonderful writing prompts makes us all prolific writers! Have a great weekend.
hedgewitch~ Every kid needs a summer lake to remember. Thanks much.
mythopolis~ Interesting concept of the ocean!
Rob-bear~ Loved your poem comment. Thank you so much!
Brian~ I think it is sad that your kids start school in August. I really think it should be held off until after Labor Day so kids have a fuller summer vacation. But I know that you and your wife gave your boys a wonderful summer.
PattiKen~ Enough to last until next year....let's hope so.
Pixies~ Thanks. When I saw that image it just shouted "55" at me. :) I am not familiar with the Blyton series and wish I'd have read them when I was a kid. Sounds like a great plot line!
A beautiful depiction, in words and picture.
rosaria~ Thank you. :)
This is so lovely. My best memories are often snapshots of lovely little moments like this.
Miss you over at my place, girl. :-(
Amber Lee~ Thanks. Some of mine are that too.
Fireblossom~ I apologize all over the place. Have been very remiss in visiting blogs, and caught up on some Sunday afternoon....but am heading your way now. :)
I am touched that you missed me!
what a gorgeous photo- and your words are pefect for this image!
Kathe~ Oh, thank you. I thought the photo was great, too. :)
