Notes About The Poem

Don't settle into this poem, but become its dream. Don't try to find the sky or sea, just let it infuse you, lull you into lala land. Happy New Year! Hugs

Caught in the Whirlpool

In darkness, the whirlpool has an eye; High up, over seas, peaking through. The placid swoosh of glittery sky, With ebb and flow of tropical blue. Glitzy diamonds make a quiet splash. Ruby-tangerine, low in horizon’s limbo. Artist sighs at shore’s moonlight glass; With frame, I step through Aloha window.
