perfectly yar

Inspired by Cole Porter, and this wonderful photograph .

 

As ripples from a feather, outward fan,

Through time and space, eternally swirling ever on,

A thought, 

A word,

A wish

I send to you

My true love.

A haiku

Swan's feather floating 

on the surface, wings soaring 

high,  beating the breeze.

Cole Porter fans will recognise the title and theme of today's blog from "High Society". This page is dedicated to my husband, and everyone who likes;

musicals,

water,

sailing,

sunshine,

parks & green spaces,

the wind in their hair.

'True Love' is the name of C.K. Dexter Haven's yacht, on which he and Tracy Lord honeymooned off the coast of Maine. They are fictional characters in the play The Philadelphia Story, on which the musical is based.

Dictionary definition of Yar.

means on the level...when a ship is said to be Yar, she's perfectly loaded and level from stem to stern and port to starboard.

Beautiful photographs courtesy of A's daddy. Thank you!!!
