Pull
in the main
And
come about.
Tack
towards the sunset’s streak, Sassy.
Sail
us away.
Away
Where
Almost
soundless days
And
nights are
Spent
in peace.
Away
Where
Smooth
sailing lies ahead.
This weekend Trifecta is taking us, once again, back to school
for a lesson in literary devices. Remember the apostrophe? About.com
defines apostrophe as, "A figure of speech in which some absent or
nonexistent person or thing is addressed as if present and capable of
understanding." We are to
provide 33-word example of an apostrophe.

everything about this was beautiful and relaxing. I could feel the ocean under me, feel the pull of the water.
TGIF my friend. XO
Gina, oh my goodness! This was marvelous! I want to sail away on Sassy too!
Thanks, Kir! I love the peace of sailing and the possibility of drifting way (in my mind). No motors, just wind and water.
You, too! Have an awesome weekend! XO back!
You are so nice to say that, Valerie! Some things are perfect, like sailing towards the sunset on a mild yet breezy evening. Not enough of those peaceful times in our lives!
Nice! Take me with you.
Ahoy, Sassy! The sailor in me salutes you. Luffing the sail to drift behind you and watch the sunset...
Almost soundless days and nights are spent in peace... Ahh so beautifully worded!
Great prompt! I would like to sail with you...
As summer fades to a memory, this is especially poignant. Nicely done.
Thanks! Plenty of calm water and warm September sunsets left!
Permission to come aboard, kymm. Thank you! See, you know to trail behind so you don't take our wind. We have tied up boats together before and done just that.
Thank you, SD! The motorboats have to idle at dusk so those noisy things often go in. Leaving the quiet water to the sailors. It's a dream.
Thanks! Sure, come on over!
That's how it was feeling to me. My son gave me this picture a few days ago and it's been on my mind, the beauty that sail, ever since. Thanks, Gal!
water has a way of seducing us, doesn't it. Never been sailing but I love the view of expanse. Enjoyed.
I want to be there.
Well done, Gina.. I so want to be on that boat on peaceful seas. Nice.
It does me. Every time. It's the most beautiful time of the day there. Thanks!
Right about now...me, too! Instead, I went to the mall.
Thanks, steph! I would love to be too and I bet tonight would be the perfect night for it. No problem with the slight chill in the air. That's what sweatshirts and blankets are for.
This reminds me of some sweet song.
Beautifully done. I'd love to sail, but I'm afraid with Ingrid in the Gulf it would be a rough ride!
Thanks, Bjorn!!!! That's sweet!
You are too kind, Tina! Today, yes it would be. Maybe wait until things calm down a bit.
I love this! You really paint the scene. :)
best,
MOV
Thanks, MOV! When the muse is this gorgeous it isn't hard to do her justice. I'm blowing this up into a poster size picture!
You really captured the essence of sailing. Nice bit of writing.
Aww Gina,this is so sweet!love it:-)
"Almost soundless days
And nights are

Oh, this sounds so wonderfully soothing. Take me with you! You really set the scene and tone. Lovely piece!
I love to sail so it comes naturally... the essence capturing. Thanks, lum!
You always leave such nice comments, Atreyee!
It was a wonderful summer night. Come sail away with me anytime, Ivy! Sailing is a peaceful experience...usually, when the wind, water and air are perfect all at the same time. Thank you for your kind comment!
Wow, this is exactly where I would like to be. Nice.
Me, too...
i like your phrasing here. it feels calm, soothing, reassuring.
sorta reminds me of hemingway's "the old man and the sea."
