Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Ocean Play

I skip my feet across the waves curling crest
     To lift off into the hidden starry heights
          Unencumbered by cares
               I contemplate the suns brilliance 
                    to moons gentle glow
                   
                     Climbing on wings of cirrus clouds
               I float serenely in silent revere
          When a little sprite taps me in a playful invite
     And our game begins.   We run atop the ocean
Splashing the sky with sea spray
       
Water droplets rain down before the suns’ smile
     Forming rainbow slides.  We invite angels 
          to come and play. Their heavenly mist 
               forms above whales in spouts of gleeful joy
                    Silly laughter ringing church bells

Sheri Fresonke Harper October 4, 2019 at 9:23 PM Jeanne, congratulations on your Honorable Mention Win in the Invitation to Play contest. I enjoyed the sense of being free of gravity and going to places never been before, very fun and airy. There were so many good poems that it got down to a just thanks standoff. Jeanne Mcgee October 4, 2019 at 9:56 PM Thank you Sheri...this was such a fun theme...I think it would be so hard to pick from all the fab poems everyone on the soup submits.
