Ocean

I miss the ocean! As everyday it was my friend. But now I'm hot and sticky, Being stuck inland! I used to admire her crashing waves, As they approached the beach. Now all I have is my garden hose, Sprinkling water on my feet! The sunrise was my favorite, When the ocean sets her free. Now I just have burnt out lightbulbs, Near a toilet where I pee. I miss those days when the ocean was my dearest friend, Perhaps I'll see her once or many times more, if I move again! 22-September-2021

So whimsical Robert! Love the couplets of comparison really bringing home the freshness of the ocean and the staleness of being "inland." Here's to many more trips to visit your beloved! Congratulations for your win.
