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 Invitation to Play Poetry Contest Written: 7-29-2019

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.

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.
