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 Written 3/4/12 by Andrea Dietrich for nette onclaud's PARALLELOGRAM DE CRYSTALLINE Poetry Contest

Sea shells, sea shells, down by the sea shore. Say this fast five times and you are a master verbalist. Alright, so it's old stuff, but your sea flowers poem is new and so fascinating. Love, daver

WoW! What a unique concept on the sea shells. Few people look at them with such deep understanding. These really are the "bones" of a living creature that died. Great work. God Bless, JB
