Notes About The Poem

Charlieku 4 x 4 x 4 Poetry Contest

4/23/2026

Sponsored by: Charles Messina

Premiere Contest WinnerSky and Ocean Blue

Deep blue ocean,
Quiet motion,
So wide and free.

Bright sun above,
Peace like a dove,
A golden light.

Cool evening air,
Soft shadows there,
Night is now near.

Stars in the sky,
Tear in my eye,
The silver glow.

I am not familiar with this form, but I love the way it scans. So fresh! So innovative! I am a musician, so I love especially the sound of words. Great job!

Thank you very much Andrew! I'm an old musician (guitarist) that cannot play anymore due to arthritis, but I write music as well as poetry. I think it goes well together! Thank you again, and have a blessed day!
