Magic Poems

I'm just tryin' to catch a good wave,
I know the feelin'
it purifies my world
for the briefest
of
moments
but oh man,
it's stevia sweet!
100 times sweeter than sugar
I can surf it for weeks
and
maybe pull it out,
but it's best
when it just hits
head on!
in
drenching
quenching
clarity

Stevia, I grew some of that once. You're right. It is 100 times sweeter than sugar... I've never surfed. Is it really 100 times better? Your poem makes me want to try... It is so well written. Love, Dane

All of the surfing I have done is body surfing. It sounds like it must be exciting. You capture the mood well in your poem! The "quenching clarity" is something we are all searching for. Yours Matthew Anish

Love your style...don't surf, but like your layout...keeps a reader circular instead of square. Love, daver
