Billie Jama Poet Shape

Hidden Depths

  .         gulls glide, their grey wings glinting
 .   .      in the glow of the f a d i n g  s u n. 
                                     below, the sea stirs
     .                            its surface trembling
                               like a h e l d  n o t e
                             s o m e t h i n g 
                          unseen gathers,
   .                   brushing softly 
                   along the horizon’s 
               edge. as the gulls 
           r i s e  h i g h e r, 
          the ocean grows deeper, harboring 
          truths no one will ever fully t o u c h

Ink Empress May 3, 2025 at 5:34 AM WOW Sis, this is so impressive and creative how youv managed to paint such vivid imagery and written such a descriptive poem in the shape of Z ! How clever and artistic! Im sure this must have taken so long for you to get it done! I once tried a shape poem long time ago! I love the way youv ended this especially! the ocean grows deeper, truths no one will ever fully t o u c h"For some reason it is also soothing! Every poem of yours is a fave for me! Best wishes! Sending you light always! Billie Jama May 3, 2025 at 8:42 AM Thank you so much, Sis. The Z shape took a while to get right, but it was worth it. I’m so glad the ending felt soothing to you—that was a quiet reflection that stayed with me. Would love to see your shape poem if you still have it! Sending light always : )
