Analysis of Zephyr Breeze



Sailing high-speed over seas
are wind directed sprints

Painting color right to seize
are superb, vibrant tints

Wafting on a zephyr breeze
are jasmine scented hints

Hugging in a gentle squeeze
are photographic prints

Sipping tonic aimed to tease
are prepared julep mints

Doing all the stuff we please
are cheerful season stints
