Moods of the Sea

"I have seen the Sea when it is stormy and wild; when it is calm and serene; when it is dark and moody, and in all its moods, I see myself." - Martin Buxbaum The sea rolls on and on Serene and majestic Water kissing my feet Gentle waves lap the shore Enjoying ocean treat The sea rolls on and on Boisterous, it devours Stay away from the shore Warning signs all over Escaping ocean roar The sea rolls on and on It drowns the shining sun And throws the seashells out The deep draws me closer What a great place to scout! The sea rolls on and on I can identify Sometimes I am at peace Other times I am mad Like the ocean, my moods They swing from sad to glad… 10th March 2022 Theme: Ocean/Sea For Constance La France's "Form M - Monchielle - New" contest

Well at least there is someone like me who suffers from moods. Great imagery. Calm seas are always exciting. Stay away from rough seas though they have their beauty.

A marvelous poem, my dearest little sister. We ought never to forget that the sea, either serene or stormy, has the same depth! Be blessed!

How beautifully you have compared the changing moods of the sea with that of yours ! The quote you have chosen also is so very apt ! The erratic nature of the sea is so analogous with that of most of us. A beautiful entry for the contest ! Best of luck, dear friend....
