In a Coastal Town

World shifts, the air thins In a coastal town... slatted blinds, every hue from Warm reds to harsher blues Hardwired to heaven Homing instinct with Different wavelengths Sunlight scatters They're more elusive Ubiquitous in nature Occasionally frightening Peaceful yet troubled Superficial beauty Bewildering imperfections Sunlight fades to darkness What mischief, what gentle Assistance they can give In legend, lore Contest by Charlotte Puddlefoot, " Something Completely Different: Cut-Up Poems

a very intriguing one here that resonated with me from the first time I read it...it has a surreal beauty and an air of mystery at the same time; I liked that first line in particular - congrats on your win in my contest :)

This makes one feel as if we are seeing a beautiful painting in some art gallery......so serene, with a rather abstract quality. I love how these pieces were put together and seem to make sense! Well done!

gosh, you did that quite well.. I was sitting there trying to figure out what it meant exactly because it sounds like it means something and then saw it was for the cut up contest. Just not sure I can try this one out, but sure enjoyed yours.
