Notes About The Poem

Sea Glass

Sea Glass 
From Mother Nature’s jewel box

She gives us and
She reciprocates …

Over the sands of time She forms and fashions troves of jewels
Refuse, shards of glass litter discarded and strewn
Sanded and polished by briny waves magically glazed frosty verglas
Trading trash and abuse with gifts
Sea glass gems washed ashore
Stones resembling emeralds, amethyst, ruby’s,
turquoise crystals displayed on the soft carpeted shores
Wishes to have seen this newfangled beauty
She once gifted us exquisitely
A rare sight as less litter evinces Her gifts scarce
I wonder was She by us coerced?
Ample reasons for us to quit littering 
if not, there are more

Duke Beaufort July 23, 2024 at 5:50 PM Anaya, you point out just how amazing are the forces of nature. It's a marvelous view that puts a smile on my face. Wise you are! I Am Anaya August 2, 2024 at 7:17 PM TY Duke, your too kind

Tonye George July 17, 2024 at 1:27 AM Lovely written. This is one natural beauty and I was perplexed when I saw a picture of it on the internet. I hope I find time to curate it before DL. "Shooting comets that grace every sky Twinkling stars that wink on ebon nights then wane and vanish in sunlight." Amazing. I Am Anaya July 17, 2024 at 6:25 AM I've never heard of sea glass, had to research on it, the sponsor requests metaphoric use of sea glass and I know you'll be great at! I just did me what metaphor I could. Thank you, Tonye:)

Jay Narain July 14, 2024 at 10:46 AM Nice poem. A trash turning into treasure, metaphorically. I Am Anaya July 14, 2024 at 1:45 PM Thank you, Jay! It may not be metaphorically enough to make the list. Thing is, I learned so much about Sea glass! xhugs
