Cheryl Koko Koomoa Poet Pantoum

Pacific Pleasures

A mirror of blue and aqua hue
Glass that expands over endless miles
Enjoyed within the gloaming view
Palm Trees sway on verdant isles

Glass that expands over endless miles
Melodies float upon rainy mists
Palm trees sway on verdant isles
Where ocean waves and blue skies kiss

Melodies float upon rainy mists
Mermaids play and sea nymphs hide
Where ocean waves and blue skies kiss
He listens to the roaring tide

Mermaids play and sea nymphs hide
Enjoyed within the gloaming view
He listens to the roaring tide
A mirror of blue and aqua hue

Joseph P. DiMino June 1, 2016 at 7:39 PM Love the imagery, and masterful personification. Beautiful work! Cheryl Koko Koomoa June 1, 2016 at 7:50 PM Thank you. That is typical of most of my poems. I appreciate your kind comments.

Karam Misra June 1, 2016 at 10:00 AM Cheryl, you seem to be having a real grip on the pantoum weaving such beautiful images. Loved the poem. ~karam~ Karam Misra June 2, 2016 at 12:30 AM Lucky to have a mentor. I am self-taught but thank my teachers from my childhood days who introduced me to the basics. I, too had a terribly long spell of the poetic block, but I am back again, hopefully, my spell of being inspired will last now. The contests are a wonderful platform to push us on! Can't thank the sponsors enough. ~karam~ Cheryl Koko Koomoa June 1, 2016 at 7:54 PM Thank you. I had a top notch coach in writing Pantoum. It's still challenging. I'm trying new forms as well. I had a 4 year block and just recently began writing again..

Connie Marcum Wong June 1, 2016 at 4:09 AM This is very beautiful Cheryl. My kind of poetry with breathtaking imagery. Have you been to Hawaii? It seems like you are describing my island. #7 ; ) Aloha, Connie Connie Marcum Wong June 12, 2016 at 8:43 PM So nice to read your poetry and get to know a kindred spirit through your poetry.

Cheryl Koko Koomoa June 1, 2016 at 7:48 PM Connie, I lived on Hawaii. On Oahu, Punaluu, was on almost all for about 12 -14 years... lost count. Livied in Samoa. Went to Fiji briefly. I was teaching as a Missionary. Then some time in Oregon country. Yep I have those images firmly implanted. I'm homesick,hate California but necessary with elderly parents. Thanks for asking and a kind greeting
