Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Little Dose

The waves lap up against the shore,
A soothing sound that I adore.
I’ve heard this many times before
Yet always, it’s appealing.

Aside from sea gulls, there’s no sound.
Off-season, no one is around,
So when I hear the wavelets pound,
Relaxed is how I’m feeling.

My normal anxious state recedes.
The ocean rules; my mind accedes,
For this is what my body needs,
A little dose of healing.

Terry Flood October 17, 2023 at 2:38 PM Couldn’t argue with a word of that, Ilene. I think an affinity with water, be it river, lake or sea, is something you either have or don’t have. I love the waterside, yet strangely, almost never write about it… must give that some thought… A smashing write that was actually soothing in its own right.
