Shiki Remindio Poet Imagism

Salt Spray

The biting wind
flaps the stray strands of hair
into my face
I close my eyes and remember the day that I met the sea
it waved at me
Closing my eyes so that I could see
the dancing colors on my eyelids

Walking a march so slow
Watching my footprints go
Did one ever know
What to show
the ocean?

It gives back
but do we give back?
The sea mourns 
for us all

maybe could one learn the truths
yet, it seems like a pondering waste

The deceit that we give
the brutal honesty that the sea shows

Take care for what we love,
in shame in what we have lost

Denis Joe March 1, 2009 at 7:16 AM Fantastic imagery in this. I am suprised that there are no other comments as this is an outstanding piece of poetry. 'I close my eyes and remember the day that I met the sea' is a superb way of expressing an emotion. The personalisation of the sea reinforces the metaphor well and allows the reader the scope to sail along with it. I wasn't too sure about the last couplet. At first I thought it unnecessary, but on further reading I think it works really well.
