Charles Messina Poet Couplet

I Think I Know

I think I know why the ocean flows 
Why the sun shines...why the moon glows 

I think I know why leaves fill trees 
Why flowers grow...why winds breeze 

I think I know why angel's- wing 
Why hearts beat...why birds sing 

I think I know why the deserts- sand 
Why mountains peak...why snowflakes land 

I think I know why friends are fun 
Why elders walk...why children run 

I think I know why skies are blue 
Why grass is green...why two is two 

I think I know why the ocean's flow 
why love is love...I think I know 


*Ref (I think I know why the ocean flows)

Sam Kauffman April 17, 2020 at 11:58 PM So much to think about - to wonder about in your couplets. There is a gentle rhythm to your words "desert-sand," "why mountains peak." I really enjoyed this poem. Good luck in the contest. Charles Messina April 18, 2020 at 10:05 AM Yes, there is, isn't there. Thank you, Sam
