Rolling Waters

Part 1 The sun reflects the sunlight as it dances upon the water a sea - bird wings its way Over the rolling waves Our small boat will only keep us afloat for a short time Let us learn the secrets of the deep before we are finally engulfed Part 2 Do not ask what you must see in the deep waters of the world Poseidon himself couldn't tell you what is the newest and the best in our world as it slips down into the waters On the shore..... Part 3 .....a small bird hops along on the sand let's face up to the changes Let us catch fish before they swim out of reach on our small island we will have a veritable feast If you want to understand then don't weep or laugh Rather, breathe deeply of the salt air leek up at the heavens find an auspicious day Set forth for parts unknown

The format of your poem has a wave-like effect that works well in conveying your thoughts. Nice use of imagery. Much for the reader to think about. Keep up the good writing. Karen
