Notes About The Poem

April 17, 2025

for the contest by Constance La France: Write a Terza Rima poem

Oceans and Time

When I look at clouds in moonlit sky
I think of oceans and salty air
and how the days go so quickly by

I wonder, does an ocean despair
as it kisses shore then quickly goes
to another shore somewhere out there

Can it possibly be each wave knows
It will meet this shore but just one time
A moment, like a wave, comes and goes

Oceans and time: so near the sublime
