Sea Glass

Old glass bottles tossed in the sea Enhanced by years beneath the deep blue Small chunks or shards paper thin Root beer brown, forest green Aquamarine and frosted white ice Bits and pieces of colored broken glass Worn by waves, recycled by the sea Metamorphosis trash to gems Problem with searching for sea glass You're hunched over, never looking up You never real see the coastal view Afraid you'll miss that one special find

Thank you Lind for your lovely comment. I keep my sea glass on my window sill. It brings a splash of the ocean into my home. Warm Smiles, Connie

nicely done, I'm wondering if you live in calif ? I sometimes watch a show called Calif. Gold with Huell Howser, he did a segment on "sea glass" anyways, very nice write ;}

No I don't live in Calif. I spend 3 moths each year in Florida. Sea glass is hard to find on the Gulf. So when I do find one it's extra special. I keep the glass in a clear vase on my windowsill. Thanks for visiting and leaving a delightful comment . Warm Smiles, Connie

People collect all kinds of things - sea glass sounds like a fun thing to look for. I collect postcards myself. Nice work! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
