Into the Deep

-Into the deep- Swimming across the ocean vast My eyes, close at last Not enough time to stop A swim, above the ocean's top Loveless into the deep Straight ahead One breath at a time The sun follows all my effort The sun kisses my face Sand with no sign of land A wink, the color is not sun-blind Saltwater, around the heart I seal the mind Lost in the waters of death I found myself tranquilized Further and Further From any ocean shore Stolen moments Sparkling diamonds Voicing the seagulls Visions of quest Ship horn The mission is gone I hit the snooze on my alarm! In a dream, of wet Never getting far enough ~SKAT~

This is truly lovely, Skat! I wouldn't change anything, unless you have already done so. ~ There's a contest "Into the Blue" on; were you to change the title to that and 'deep' in 5th line to 'blue', I think it would be the perfect entry! ~ Hugs // paul

Hi Irma,Thank you for your welcom comments today.This imagery from your poem above is a haiku-ON THE BEACH I stop for a moment/ To see the sparkling diamonds-/ I still hear the seagulls/ It's visually better to read if it is in lower case.The title is often an integral part of the haiku or similar short poem forms.Best wishes with your writings.Rgds Brian
