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) From Vijay Pandit's poem "I Think I Know Why The Ocean Flows" Poetic Lines From A Poetry Soup Poet- Vijay Pandit Sponsor: Silent One 4-17-2020

Charles, I REALLY struggled with this one. I actually spent an hour coming up with rubbish!! Then I come here and see how you did YOURS and I am thining. OMG, why didn't I just do it THIS way?? (I chose another line in the end. haha) Anyway, I am so impressed with how you did this, a FAVE, and thanks so much for kindness contest. You showed true kindness by giving so many deserving wins.

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.
