Azure Sea and Its Untiring Waves

A serene summer evening
Brimming with beauty, the shore was panoramic, 
Caressed gently by silvery waves
Dancing to the tune of soft cool wind. The
Ebb and flow of the waves so rhythmic, 
Following one another like kids running in a row, 
Gleefully holding hands. The sea gleamed in 
Hues of azure blue: greeting me warmly. 
In a moment so dreamy, my mind leaped for
Joy - as I stood by the shore, the waves
Kissed my feet, the cool water tickling my toes. 
Listening to its murmur, I stood there amazed at the
Myriad of thoughts the azure blue evokes. 
Nothing but a pulsating harmony of blue did I see - 
Oh! the humming of the waves so enthralling and
Peaceful, as if answering all the
Queries in my mind. The sea in her
Robes of cerulean blue appeared to be
So poised and placid. Her dainty balletic 
Twirls were graceful: an alluring elegant blue 
Under the glorious sky that is a
Velvet of purple and pink now as the sun was setting. 
Waves gurgled a symphony - soothing my mind like a
Xylophone's music. Far out at the sea I saw a
Yacht bobbing up and down the waves and a gentle
Zephyr whispered goodbye into my ears as I started to leave for home.

It is not an easy task to create an Abecedarian so that it makes sense, but you have achieved the goal. Congratulations on your placement in mile 9, Anitha.

Hi, Anitha, I don't think we've met before, but I love your abecedarian poem! How nicely it ebbs and flows like the "Ebb and flow of the waves so rhythmic" referred to in your poem. I know it's difficult to accomplish this when using this poetry form. The poem likewise visually ebbs and flows too! Congratulations on your podium finish on Mile 9 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 10 has already started!

Dear Ani, your skillful use of this poetry form is as admirable as your “azure sea” poem is exquisite. I adore the sumptuous imagery that brings me to the center of “a serene summer evening” by the panoramic shore. A splendid feast for the senses and a peaceful place for the mind. Your artistry shines, my sweet friend. Warmest wishes for a happy Holiday season.. ~Susan
