White evanescent waves roll on the shore with such felicity of frothy bliss. Rhapsodic sounds explode as they explore; present the waiting beach their foamy kiss. Above, the dulcet sounds echo the call of gulls, neath radiant, pale sapphire skies; plethora of white V-shaped wings asprawl, invokes idyllic sights that mesmerize. As waves recede, a shell remains onshore; perhaps a talisman brought forth for me. What living thing, like a cacoon, it bore, and now to me came from this deep, dark sea. The sky and sea hold treasures each their own; but special are the gifts from depths unknown. January 23, 2016 Premiere Contest: Gifts Sponsor: Anthony Biaanco

OK, Sandra, I sheath my pen, its ink stained tip, in homage to your mastery of both the sonnet and the challenge. Impressive treatment of both.
