Poem of the Day for 02/16/26 Salty As Life by Jeffrey Parren They had soaked their skin with sun and the salty ocean which cleared all blemishes. All tragedies were washed away or covered over and all that remained was purity. Even infatuation was simpler when the innocence was lucid as were the feelings untouched by the evils of experience. The beach called to them as they did each other so when they left back to their own lives to give it a go it inevitably failed. A vacation's romance is better kept at the beach. 06/01/2010 Visit Jeffrey Parren's Library Salty As Life Copyright © 2026
