Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Sea Flowers

sea flowers
blossoming on beaches
gathered for use as decorations

sea creatures
rising up from oceans
drift on tides. . . dying on coastal land

seeds of death
are empty shells on sand. . . 
but how lovely their spiraled patterns

sea flowers
beautiful rootless blooms
remain so. . .  not wilting in the sun
