there’s nothing I like better than strolling along the beach leaving ephemeral footprints in the ripples on the seashore as I comb the beach for weathered seaglass rolled for decades in briny waters tumbled smooth and textured I keep a lookout for my preferred colors of jade and amber white and icy blue to line my pockets with these magical mermaid coins AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on April 29, 2021 for contest FOOTPRINTS - OLD OR NEW sponsored by CAROLYN DEVONSHIRE - RANKED 3RD Originally posted on Mary 13, 2020

Have done this many times, Line. Love the "mermaid coins!" So creative, unique and whimsical! I guess all of us end up like sea glass in a way as we tumble through the tides and swells of life ending up as treasure. Nice metaphor and imagery! Congratulations. Blessings and a hug to you.

Thank you so much for your lovely message, Sam. " I guess all of us end up like sea glass in a way as we tumble through the tides and swells of life ending up as treasure." You should really write a poem about this beautiful analogy ~

In youth, my friends and I used to collect the pretty "sea glass." We would put it in a jar filled with water and it looked like a collection of beautiful gemstones. There were many extraordinary poems in this contest. Congratulations on a well-deserved win! And thank you for supporting the contest. Hugs, Carolyn
