Mick Talbot Poet Rhyme

Distant Shores - Rhyming Wave Poetry

I wait, on a far distant shore
a distant, distant, distant shore
hopes dependent on flames that soar
hopes my rescue they'll aid

Or the S O S will me save,
hope will me, will me, will me save!
l see a ship it flashed a wave
I could not ask for more!

It was a ship, a ship of war,
A ship of, ship of, ship of war!
They saw my flame and came ashore.
Rescued, I wait no more!  

I wait, on a far distant shore.
Rescued I wait no more!

Andrea Dietrich June 24, 2018 at 3:24 PM Love this and the approach you took. This seems like a specific poetry form but I am not sure!! Anyway, congrats for your win, Mick.

A link to the guidelines http://poetscollective.org/poetryforms/rhyming-wave/ A confession, I haven't always, if at all gone with the iambic meter, but I'm trying. Thanks for your congratulations, Mick
