Just a few thoughts about the shell on shelf ....Sara

Shell on shelf Bleached white touched by graying Remember when held close to his ear Ocean's waves Did roar, drawing lover Closer to hear all even small phrase Those times gone Only gray shell on shelf White with age, fragile but waves still roar If only He would take me in hands Gently caress to his waiting ear Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Contest: Parallelogram De Crystalline Written by: Sara Kendrick March 06, 2012

The sea always revives me when I walk on the boardwalk at Coney Island & Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, NY. The line "those times gone" is a powerful and all too true one. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Excellent use of personification for the shell that seems to have lost its original luster, but could still bring the joyful sound of waves to those who would pick it up. I'm sure this will do well in Nette's contest, but I am thinking it should be entered in the "Cobwebs and Dust" contest as well. Awesome! Love and winning wishes, Carolyn
