Lighthouse

Lighthouse

Time on the ocean uninspired  
The lighthouse beams immortalized
Reaching out forever, tranquility
Holding sky, sea, unencumbered 

Keepers watch gradual gravitation's 
Storm Forces, the ingredients 
The elements congregate, obedience
Lighthouse walls definable, unflappable

Casarah Nance Date: 9/23/2014 6:05:00 PM I agree I don't think your structure is what was required but I think your description of a lighthouse structure is impressive! Would like to see you tweek it and enter it and light it up on the winners list. hugs my friendxx Login to Reply Earl Schumacker Date: 9/23/2014 8:31:00 PM Hi Casarah, Thank you for pointing that out. I rewrote it and posted the new version. I don't know if this is it or are you commenting on my original entry. I just wrote a poem, "Insect Part Ten." I made sure it had nothing to do with insects. I'm rebelling against the system. I also wrote other insect poems right now that are just fun to read. (Honestly, I'm not interested in any contests. I simply like to write.)Thanks again for the heads up. Take care. Earl

Barbara Gorelick Date: 9/23/2014 3:53:00 PM I love your poem, not sure it conforms to what she wants though. Check just to be sure. BG Especially like the last stanza...

I feel honored to be the Soup village idiot. I am happy that people care enough to see me succeed. I did revise it. I'm still not sure if this is right...or is it write? Thanks again. Take care. Earl
