Image result for seashells

You held to my ear shells found near the shore. Sea's cry I would hear. That was long ago. I hold one again; my salty tears flow. Oct. 31, 2017 For the TABLEAU PRINTS contest of nette onclaud Image #3

Your poem revived for me a lost memory for me of my father holding a shell to my ear, telling me to listen to the sea.

Oh such nostalgic longing Andrea so tender and heartfelt. I love the last lines of your first verse and your second verse and how they both relate to salty tears. A wondrous write and good luck in the contest!
