Mystical Ocean

Who can resist the call of ocean waves whispering as they lap against the shore? Who can stand firm against that which enslaves? Return passionate melody ardor? How many men have heard the Sirens’ song leaving wondering kith and ken behind? How did their fateful journey hold so long to oppress their minds and tighten the bind? Who can repeat sweet nothings of wafture that solos its secret, seductive song? Who can resist the traction of rigor that intones one’s soul to follow along? Can from the heights of Icarus one dive to the depths of Poseidon and survive ?

Oh my, dear Linda, your sonnet is steeped in dynamic beauty, passion, a sparkle of alliteration and the drama of your amazing couplet for a grand finale. Plus, I just adore the use of the word "wafture" - so very poetic! Enchanting and exquisite! Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

An unexplainable mystery for sure, Linda. You did a good job of covering the spectrum of feelings one deals with when the sirens sing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us though your fine poetry. Bill
