Notes About The Poem

Image result for sea

Seashore In Lapis Lazuli

Crepuscular is waning afternoon,
in lapis lazuli does day respire.
The seashore chimes its solitary rune
as tentative the lapping waves acquire
the briny echo of a mermaid's lyre.
Though timidly does surf caress the beach
in mirrored shades of night as they conspire,
brave wisps of comets in the untold reach
of space diffuse and pluck my heart into the breach.

Wonderful example, and so rich with imagery and metaphor, (used well, I might add, not just injected for its own sake - something I see a lot of lately) ... I am never disappointed when I read your work, Dale - I get VERY little time to read and comment, (and I love to do so and miss it - hopefully changing soon), but there are a few authors here at PS that I can go to time-after-time for poetic refreshment, and you are one of those few. Excellent work, My Friend! :-)
