Sky spills blue across sun speckled footprints memories melt in the sea I swim among dancing dolphins in butterfly bliss strokes Sky spills blue In the warm arms of teal ocean splashing across sun speckled footprints I remember us as shores of forever memories melt in the sea

Great one. "memories melt in the sea" they really do. The sea has so many baggage and gold mines in it. I see why people go there when they love, mourn or wish to be inspired. It's a mix of everything. It's Life and it's death. Calm and stormy. Congratulations on your win Dear, Ink.

A poem that flows endlessly giving us great pleasure in using our imagination. You take us to the sea, with its cool but plenty of visions. Best for a win.

I enjoyed reading your lovely/wonderful write. As a child, I would dream about having 2 dolphins as a pet. Great Ending... Sometimes it feels like memories have melted in the blue sea. "Good Luck" Have a blessed day writing away...........................

Dear Ink this verse is stunningly lovely. You have a remarkable talent for evoking tranquil and beautiful ocean images in your writing, which is evident in this piece. The poem flows beautifully because of how you blended the refrains. Several memories never go away and constantly make an impression on our minds;the place has several beautiful combos, like speckled footsteps and butterfly happiness strokes. Some memories stick with us forever and paint a mental picture. Good luck in the contest.

Love this one, Ink. Is it for the contest I am thinking of? Love the way you used short lined. It almost felt like reading haiku.

Love that title, shores of forever... if only there were such a thing.. maybe in heaven there is.. You did this contest really well, you always excel when you write about the ocean and you've created lovely serene imagery here... You combined each refrain really well, as the poem flows so well.. Some lovely pairings here like butterfly bliss strokes and speckled footprints.. some memories never fade and always leave an image on our mind.. Best of luck in the contest..

Ooh love this simple verse poem. Memories of sharing blue skies and warm seas with a loved one, walking hand in hand barefoot along the shoreline. Sweet
