Sailboat

Under
the white seagulls,
yacht's passing wing 
off the sky, off deep end —
sea moves me lagging these feet
in water

Oh, I am so jealous of this scene - I miss the sea ... We used to go catamaran sailing and I would just let my feet dangle in the refreshing water of the lagoon between bouts of riding the jib. (BTW: Check the Double marks " at yacht...s)

Love this one. Reminds me of the days I sat in the front of our boat feeling water in my face when we jumped waves. Those were the days

I must agree with Hiya here - this poem made me feel weightless as well, almost dizzy but in the best way possible. It reads like a dream. Love it. Best wishes, Hiba <3

Oh my, it feels almost weightless reading these words, absolutely breathtaking my dear Paige! There's so much insight in this poem and it makes me feel the evocative aura that you've intended to convey... A certain stillness and peace flows, while sailing and mirroring ourselves in those waters. "sea moves me lagging these feet in water" How lovely! Best wishes for the contest, enjoyed reading this poem ~
