Lighthouse

Lighthouse Time on the ocean uninspired The lighthouse beams immortalized Reaching out forever, tranquility Holding sky, sea, unencumbered Keepers watch gradual gravitation's Storm Forces, the ingredients The elements congregate, obedience Lighthouse walls definable, unflappable Created by: Earl Schumacker on 9/23/13 for Lighthouse- Poetry contest

I agree I don't think your structure is what was required but I think your description of a lighthouse structure is impressive! Would like to see you tweek it and enter it and light it up on the winners list. hugs my friendxx

Hi Casarah, Thank you for pointing that out. I rewrote it and posted the new version. I don't know if this is it or are you commenting on my original entry. I just wrote a poem, "Insect Part Ten." I made sure it had nothing to do with insects. I'm rebelling against the system. I also wrote other insect poems right now that are just fun to read. (Honestly, I'm not interested in any contests. I simply like to write.)Thanks again for the heads up. Take care. Earl

I love your poem, not sure it conforms to what she wants though. Check just to be sure. BG Especially like the last stanza...

Hi Barbara, Thank you so much. I am truly touched by all the attention I'm getting from everyone for my mistakes. I feel honored to be the Soup village idiot. I am happy that people care enough to see me succeed. I did revise it. I'm still not sure if this is right...or is it write? Thanks again. Take care. Earl
