The Shell

sea's sound in the breeze
captured in a pretty shell. . . . 
nature's gift to me

lying on my bed
holding music to my ear. . . . 
I drift out to sea

a great piece enjoyed it. thank you for commenting on My Journey Home. about what you said, no if i did that i would change the whole meaning of the poem, i don't know that much about syles of poetry. i just write them if i try to write a certain kind of poem i would do a very bad job. but thank you anyway.

Wonderful write Andrea . I watched a movie last night called Oceans. It was more of a documentary type of show but your poem reminds me that the ocean plays music all of it's own. love phyl
