A Snap Shot (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta

The boat, brightly coloured, Fishing, Lay anchored and still. The distant horizon, A curtain of blue, No distinction between sea and sky. The white flaky clouds Radiated summer’s smile. The porpoises jumped gracefully, A song in their eyes and heart. The sun dived in For deeper blues and greens. The tide rose, and so did my heart. Picturesque, Captivating, Wonderstruck! I wanted time to stand still. And at that time I believe it did.

Nice - fewer uses of 'the' would have been nice, it makes it seem a little disjointed at the moment. Also...I'd love a bit more in the way of description of the porpoises; I'm on the verge of actually seeing this snapshot, but it's just agonisingly out of my grasp...
