Robert Pettit Poet Etheree

Ocean View

There's 
a town
on Route 9
in New Jersey
at the southern part.
It's in Cape May county
along the Atlantic coast.
This small town is called Ocean View.
You'll see the term is a misnomer.
When you are there, you can't see the ocean.

Alexis Y. February 28, 2021 at 2:50 PM Hi Robert, That’s weird; if the town is called Ocean View, one should be able to view the ocean. Let's vote , all in favor, name change, please. I enjoyed the read. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Carolyn Devonshire February 28, 2021 at 11:10 AM How funny that Ocean View has no view of the ocean. I was raised in NJ. The Southern part of the state has beautiful beaches and pine barrens inland. Enjoyed your poem, Robert! Hugs, Carolyn
