Mystery Photos (Summer Sonnet)

July 27, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 19 Comments

I.

Where’s Waldo in this picture? Not the point.
But mystery photos here, for now, abound.
It couldn’t be that Wolfie blew this joint!
But where on Earth might little Wolf be found?

Right here right now as always, I will say.
My keyboard and my cell phone are not far.
You know I dreamed of heading off to play –
By plane, by train, or even in my car.

With budget, boys, and work to gray my hair,
When was the last vay-kay that I did take?
Turns out six years – No wonder I’m a bear!
Nineteen hundred days without real break???

Peek at these pics and tell me what you see…
The shoes are there… it’s possible that’s me!

II.

Essential footwear needed for the beach?
Slingbacks, slides, and mules (stilettos, too) –
You think hot heels mean waves are out of reach?
A few days off sans shoes would leave me blue!

You doubt my word? Eh non, you know me well.
But pics may help should you require a clue…
Imagine quiet, charm, the ocean’s swell –
Some palms, great fudge, the sun! Those few days flew!

There’s more to come; for now, I’ve work to do –
So bon weekend to every one of you!

    A mystery indeed, except there’s no mystery that you’re getting away. Or have gotten away. Enjoy la weekend!

    Great “gams”, by the way.

      Went. Back. Too quick, but delightful! (Maybe they’re borrowed “gams”…) 🙂

    Ha ha ha. An amusing way to start the weekend: pictures of a dream vacation. And possibly that’s you? Coupled with good weather, the sand, and palm trees, it is hard for me to say just which is more tantalizing. No matter where I am for the next two days, Ms. Wolf, it will be just a little bit sunnier.

    Bon weekend ou bonne fin de semaine. Je suis en train de vous lire. wb 🙂

      A little sun, a little sand, a breeze off the ocean. Magical stuff.

    Oh how this post reminded me of our family vacation to South Carolina in 2010. I shall celebrate by spiking my coffee with Bailey’s for the next two days.

    🙂

    @Natalie – You’re very close to the mystery locale… That spiked coffee sounds perfect for a hot summer weekend. Close your eyes, and imagine the sound of waves and the elegance of the palms…

    Amelia Island? Hope you had a wonderful solo sabbatical. (Or perhaps not solo? Either way, hope it was lovely for you.)

    Really?! I love winning a contest! And, again, delighted that you had a get away after 1,500-something days… Hope it doesn’t take that long next time between vacays. Thanks for the fun post!

      Six years since the last vacation! (Technically, that’s closer to 2100 days, but 1900 fit better in my verse… ;)) It really is a lovely place. (Now if only I had a good prize for you! I brought back shells… And great memories.)

    A great post to smile with on my birthday. I will accept that wonderful picture of (your) legs accented by those wonderful shoes as my birthday present 😉
