Linda Rutherford Poet Rhyme

A Ocean Alouette

A dark blue ocean
always in motion
will sparkle in the sunlight
casting disks of gold
that each wave must hold
until lost on sands of white

foam flecked water churns
grabs sand as it turns
retreating back when it's done
once again to hold
those bright disks of gold
soon lost to a setting sun

If you visit my blog, I am showing there a poem that used the meter of this form. I really did not explain it well enough in my contest page. Anyway, love your poem. Congrats.
