Symbolistic Seascape

From the depths of choppy waters, Emerges the shell of man. Draped in an aquatic robe, Deliberately...making his stand. With New York at his shoulders, And the Big Apple by his side. His robust presence emerged, Creating...the evening tide. The sun boldly illuminates, The way for birds to fly. As the world protrudes the heavens, Through an M.C. Escher sky.

Raul, many of us on the Soup call you the Haiku King. But there is much much more to this poet, and it is evident here in this fine piece. Many congratulations on your win in Carolyn's contest >> James
