Receding Shoreline

Receding Shoreline Throbbing heartbeats rise, Patience draws a line in the sand, Tears swallow my pride, Turbulence persuades the tides, Anguish engulfs the shoreline ! Tanka- 5/7/5/7/7 Written April 1st, 2015 For contest "One new tanka" by Rick Parise Now entered for " enter contest name" by Giorgio A.V.
