She has a new car, beautiful, really beautiful; and with her, a great friend. They drove through the evening to find a particular lake, it was almost a myth. But it’s there. They stopped. There was no one in sight. And there, she, the wonderful moon, towered over them. What could be better?
it’s a lovely night
they decided to wade in;
they’re skinny dipping!

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a car parked near the edge of a body of water. The door of the car is open. Behind the car is a small rise and we can see a huge spherical body/ moon rising behind that rise.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What Do You See #271 photo prompt.

A very intriguing story in your poem Chris. Thanks for joining in.

A great adventure and skinny dipping by the full moon speaks of witches too. Mysterious, well done.

Yes. The water here is freezing in the summer too, but much better than chopping through the ice. 🙂

Oh good, I’m glad they were just skinny dipping. Looking at the picture and the title, I was afraid maybe they got into an accident and were missing because they fell into the water!😱 (What can I say, except “Raised by Swedes”?) 😂😂

Hehe, those Swedes can go anywhere, and I’m sure these ones would be good at swimming even if it was rather chilly!🥶
