First day in Puerto Rico

Plane ride
and Laughter
Applause as we land
Smiling Faces
that know we are thrilled to be in
Puerto Rico
Waking up to parrots squawking
in delight
as they fly overhead
looking at distant mountains
filled with
Yellow Hibiscus
Heliconia on fire
Blue Skies
Bright Sun
Flip
Flops
Shorts
Ceiling Fans
Heavy Traffic
the other way, thank God
Hammocks
inviting you to relax
as you watch palm trees sway
Swimming pools
waiting for you to jump in
and I think I will
excuse me
let me find my
bathing suit
and hat
Splash!
