Premiere Contest WinnerJubilee

I soared upon a seagull’s wings to hear a sailor’s song
      euphoric in my jubilee while dolphins sang along.

Thanks so much, John! This couplet came from my poem, Soup Bubble Dreams that I wrote awhile back. So happy it could stand on its own!

Laura, I was quite taken by your poem when I first read it. A lover of the sea and all things maritime, it was particularly delightful. And, of course, who doesn't love dolphins! It was perfect in every way, and I am happily awarding you the trophy for this wonderful couplet.
