Lena Townsend Poet Choka

Ocean Waves

In perfect rhythm
A gently flowing ballad
Perfect melody

Tugging at my heart
Softly lifting my spirit
Tickling my senses

A song of beauty
Calling to the universe
To maintain all life

Everlasting tune
Beckoning for all to see
Shimmering with hope


Singing out for peace
In harmony with the wind
Conducted by God

Ann Rich January 28, 2010 at 7:44 AM I like Lolita better...Good write but I must have missed the boat or the bait, however I do have the creative ability to step in ur shoes and see through ur eyes. This one I would build my own universe with by adding more imagery.... AR

Jared Pickett January 27, 2010 at 6:26 AM I would have to agree... Living in Florida and now on the Eastern seaboard of Delaware I see the ocean almost everyday.... Good write, well worth the feature.....:JP]
